“The 2009, with its deep purple hue, offers a beautiful nose of blueberry liqueur, acacia flowers, licorice, graphite, and wood smoke. A great Margaux—floral and elegant, with exceptional purity, medium-bodied, admirably concentrated, and rich. It retains the typical character expected of wines from this region, yet tends to be significantly more elegant and less muscular than the Saint-Juliens, Pauillacs, and Saint-Estèphes further north. Given its tannic profile, the 2009 Boyd-Cantenac requires 5 to 8 years of cellaring and should age for three decades. ” (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker) • Orders of 12 bottles of this wine shipped within France will be delivered in a wooden case •
