Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
An opaque blue/purple color is accompanied by impressively sweet floral notes intermixed with black currant and blackberry fruit. Medium to full-bodied with high but round tannins, the 2010 Boyd-Cantenac is exceptionally well-endowed, textured and pure. This under-the-radar estate (a classified growth in the famous 1855 rankings) never seems to catch the attention of consumers. It deserves better. Enjoy the 2010 for 25 or more years. Score: 91 - 93 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 04 May 2011 |

Very dark crimson. Fresh, zesty and meaty with great energy. Though not as dense as many of its peers, with pretty marked acidity. Pretty but just a bit green on the finish. Score: 16 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2017-2029 18 April 2011 |

Wonderfully expressed Cabernet Sauvignon aromas, superb texture, a powerful wine that is still elegant, great future and probably the best ever from this understated château. Score: 17 - 18 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2017-2030 01 April 2011 |

Very ripe, but with superfresh acidity to keep the lush plum, raspberry and black currant notes fresh, while melted licorice and a long, violet-filled finish come in behind. Score: 90 - 93 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 31 March 2011 |
