1970 CHÂTEAU CANTENAC BROWN 1970

(Ed 1998)
The 1970 is dense ruby in color, with a big, black currant, cinnamon, herb, leather, and mineral-scented bouquet. This massive wine has huge tannins which refuse to melt away. At nearly 20 years of age, the 1970 remains a muscular wine that is impressive only for power and toughness.
