Chateau Boyd-Cantenac 2017: Characteristics and tasting tips
The tasting
Silky and velvety, the gourmet tannins coat the palate with a typical Margaux mouthfeel, while the Cabernets give the wine an elegant structure, enhancing the depth of the fruit on the mid-palate. The slight astringency on the finish resonates with the aging period. A superbly distinctive Margaux wine, revealing the purity of a fruity aromatic freshness.
