Full and structured with chewy tannins. Plenty of earth and sweet tobacco character. Medium center palate. Should develop nicely. Score: 91 - 92 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 01 April 2016 |

The 2015 Boyd-Cantenac has plenty of ripe blackcurrant, bilberry and wild strawberry fruit on what feels quite a lavish and voluminous nose that is determined to make an impression. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy ripe tannin. This is a Margaux with the dials turned up to ten - a huge overarching structure lacquered with black fruit, supported by some quality new oak that lends it sheen. It is a powerful Margaux that deserves a decade in bottle, not a wine of finesse but it has the substance to reward long-term bottle age. Score: 91 - 93 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2025-2050 Date: 01 April 2016 |
