Chateau Brown 2023

James Suckling: "A lot of structure and depth here with firm, muscular tannins. Medium- to full-bodied, broad and layered with notes of chocolate and dark berries. Lingering finish."

Decanter: "Wonderful deep rich colour, vibrant, and lots of expression on the nose, purple flowers, black fruits, vanilla, milk chocolate, some dried herbs and some oak influence too. A wall of tannins, but chalky and then immediately subsides and melts into the mouth with bright red fruits, chalky and creamy and with bite. A lovely finesse to this with a quiet power and calm elegance. Still young but well proportioned with lots of push. This has great body, a really lovely weight and layers of ripe fruit, minerality, freshness and menthol herbality. There’s something just very charming about this while still having plenty to get your teeth stuck into. A yield of 40hlha. 100% oak ageing, 30% new, 70% one year. 3.68pH."
