A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot, this is a beautiful wine from Chateau Brown (one of the best I have tasted). The color is still a dense opaque plum/garnet/purple, and the wine displays smoke, spice, earth, licorice and loads of black fruits. Medium to full-bodied, pure, ripe and layered, this sleeper of the vintage should drink well for another 15 years.
