Vinous - Neal Martin (91)The 2022 Boyd-Cantenac has a very attractive nose: clean and pure black fruit, crushed stone and light graphite scents percolating through with time. Great definition. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. Good depth, quite sapid in the mouth, though it cuts away swiftly on the finish. Otherwise, this is a perfectly decent Margaux that deserves two or three years in bottle. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90)The 2023 Boyd-Cantenac has quite a concentrated nose, blackberry, melted tar and light gravely scents, just missing the delineation of its peers at the moment. The palate is soft and rounded on the entry. Decent weight, a little oaky, though I am seeking more complexity and terroir expression to come through on the finish that, again, is just a bit softish. Not bad at all, though I would just need to see more grip and backbone. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91)The 2002 Branaire Ducru was partly made with Philippe Dhalluin and Dominique Arangoïts, who said there was a lot of discussion about the blend at the time. It has an open-knit, earthy bouquet with black fruit, wild mint, singed leather and a touch of potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied with mainly red fruit, white pepper, clove, a slight grittiness to the tannins but with commendable depth and freshness towards the finish. Fine acidity and bite, this is a Saint-Julien that is à point. Tasted at the château. |
