  Falstaff
  "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung, feinwürzig unterlegte dunkle Beerenfrucht, zart nach Brombeeren und Lakritze, ein Hauch von Nougat, feine kandierte Orangenzesten. Komplex, saftig und mit tiefer Frucht ausgestattet, feine, gut integrierte Tannine, schokoladiger Nachhall, bleibt lange haften, sicheres Zukunftspotenzial, klassische Margaux-Stilistik, lagerfähiger Wein, der über einige Dekaden Trinkfreude bieten wird."

  "One of the finest wines to come from Cantenac Brown for many years, this is powerful and dense, dominated by Cabernet Franc tannins and fruits. The structure has a smooth, polished character that locates it firmly in Margaux, giving elegance and discreet fruitiness. Age this fine wine for many years."

  The Wine Advocate
  "The greatest Cantenac Brown I have ever tasted, the 2010 is one for the ages. Dense purple, with an extraordinary nose of sweet forest floor, blackberry jam, pen ink and graphite, this wine soars from the glass, giving it an aromatic dimension and intensity I have never seen from this estate. The tannins are present, as they are in most Cantenac Browns, but the wine’s sweetness, broad, skyscraper-like mouthfeel, dense, purple color and spectacular length (close to a minute) make this a giant classic and a fabulous sleeper of the vintage that still remains under-priced, considering how great its potential may be. This is a wine for those with cold cellars and youthful DNA. It is going to need at least a decade of cellaring and should last for 20-40 years. A classic!"

  "A wine with firm tannins that are polished and reserved yet there's an underlying richness of fruit. Plums, blueberries and citrus character. Some tar too. Juicy and delicious to taste."

  "Sattes Purpur- Granat. Kompaktes Bouquet, warme Frucht, schöne Terroirexpression, Kaffee und Edelhölzer. Grossartiger Gaumenauftritt, fest im Fleisch, ausgeglichene Adstringenz. Klassischer, anspruchsvoller Bordeaux. Aber Vorsicht, der Wein braucht viel Zeit!"

  "What a fascinating impression that this vintage offers, compared to more recent vintages assessed for this article. While it conveys clean and pure fruit expressions, minty freshness and licorice, with mid-palate juiciness, it lacks the palate depth that one would expect from as great a vintage as 2010. When compared for example to the 2020, it comes across less focused, more loosely knit. In short, the 2010 is a solid wine, but not as exciting as the more recent vintages tasted."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Still quite young as you would expect, smoke, tobacco and blackberry aromas are paired with soft tannins and good density of material. The wine leaves a lasting impression of sweet dark berries and freshness."

  Wine Spectator
  " Very fresh, with a bold display of dark blueberry, loganberry and plum fruit aromas and flavors that push ahead, followed by singed spice, black licorice and toasty vanilla bean notes. Displays a polished feel on the finish, kept honest by a buried charcoal accent. Shows plenty of length for the cellar. Best from 2014 through 2028."
