Blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum sit alongside cedar, liquorice, dried flowers, tobacco and gentle roasted spice. There is still plenty of fruit at the heart, but time has added the savoury detail and quiet complexity that makes mature Bordeaux so compelling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the palate, it is silky and composed, with softened tannins, ripe dark fruit and a long finish of cedar, spice and mineral freshness. The Cabernet Sauvignon still gives shape and length, while Merlot brings roundness through the middle. This is worth buying for customers who want properly mature classified-growth Bordeaux that is ready to enjoy now, with enough structure still in reserve for further cellaring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA serious dinner calls for mature Margaux with elegance, history and quiet authority.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoast beef, rack of lamb, venison, beef Wellington, duck, mushroom dishes, truffled potatoes or mature hard cheeses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChâteau Cantenac Brown is a Third Growth from the historic 1855 Bordeaux Classification and one of Margaux’s most distinctive estates. The wine combines the perfume and finesse associated with Margaux with enough Cabernet structure to age gracefully. At more than a decade old, the 2012 offers customers something increasingly difficult to find: mature classified Bordeaux with pedigree, complexity and no need to wait years before opening.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56299410784641,"sku":null,"price":79.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/WR-bottle-pic-69.png?v=1780416549","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2012-chateau-cantenac-brown-grand-cru-classe","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
