Chateau Boyd-Cantenac, Margaux, France 2018 Chateau Chasse-Spleen With 36% new American oakThis a solid Boyd with lots of ripe blackberry and currant character on the nose and palate. Full body, chewy tannins and a persistent finish. Should be an excellent wine. 94. Pts James Suckling The deep garnet purple colored 2018 Boyd Cantenac features smoked meats, dried herbs and savory aromas over baked berries and cassis with a pencil lead hint. The palate is full bodied with a soft texture and bags of fruit and herb sparks, finishing warm. 91
