91pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot, this is a beautiful wine from Château Brown (one of the best I have tasted). The color is still a dense opaque plum/garnet/purple, and the wine displays smoke, spice, earth, licorice and loads of black fruits. Medium to full-bodied, pure, ripe and layered, this sleeper of the vintage should drink well for another 15 years.

Wine Notes

A charming Pessac Leognan with smoke, dark cherries, cassis and earthy scents. Medium/full bodied with soft textures, the wine finishes with round, spicy plum sensations. This is already drinking well. This will not make old bones. I'd drink it over the next 5-8 years.
