Winery - Château Brown
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The aromas are dominated by spicy wood, and at this young stage in the wine’s evolution that is the same for the taste. The fruit, juicy black currants, is struggling to come through. Give it 3–4 years.

An attractive, crisp, citrusy wine, full of herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc flavors. The delicious, full-blown fruit is well balanced with spice from the new wood aging.

Well-balanced, this is a wine that already shows the considerable improvements made at Brown under the Mau family ownership. There is a delicious lightness of touch, with black currant fruit flavors shot through with fresh acidity.

90-92 Attractive floral perfumes, a wine that is soft initially then shows a fine herbaceous edge. Crisp, textured with hints of wood.

An intensely herbaceous wine, with grassy citrus fruit flavors and green, deliciously fresh acidity. To round it out, the wine has hints of tropical yellow fruits.

Tasted from magnum, the wine shows youthful vigor, layers of wood and dark berry flavors. It has the relative lightness of 2007, with a tight edge that needs to smooth out. Give the wine in a 750ml bottle another 5–6 years, a magnum up to 10 years.

A finely structured and shaped wine, the Sauvignon Blanc dominating the blend, but offering more of its tropical fruit side than its herbaceous character. However, there is a good hint of balanced wood, lifting and giving extra richness.

89-91 Concentrated wood aromas, although on the palate fine, tannic black fruits show through the toast. Will be rich and juicy.

With its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), this gives an initial serious structure, topped with rich, ripe black fruit flavors. The tannins are calmed by this richness, with spice, blueberries and blackberry juice much more dominant.
