Information on the vintage 1970 red Bordeaux: A highly important vintage in many ways: it's fine quality and it's timing provided a jump start to the wine boom which was already hotting up. There was every reason to believe that it wa going to be a highly satisfactory vintage, and as important in its way as the 'millennium' vintage three decades later.

Cellar Tracker December - 2020
Cellar Tracker
Moderately translucent and rather thin yet still surprisingly youthful ruby red colour with an evolved brick-orange hue. Aged, somewhat restrained and slightly dusty nose with quite mature aromas of old furniture, pencil shavings and cigar wrapper, some wizened dark forest fruits, light leafy notes typical of Cabernets, a hint of brined mushrooms and a perfumed touch of dried flowers. The wine is dry, medium-bodied and somewhat bitter on the palate, yet the mouthfeel is more silky than tough or lean. The taste feels savoury and slightly thin with very evolved flavours of wizened blackcurrants and dark forest fruits, tart lingonberries, some dusty old wood and antique furniture, a little bit of earth, light metallic tones and ferrous notes of blood, a hint of sous-bois and a sweet, tertiary touch of marmaladey red fruit. Although the overall feel is very evolved and starting to thin out a bit, the wine doesn't feel like it is on a downhill yet - especially with some air the fruit gains a bit of sweetness and sense of weight, while the metallic tones take a step into the background. Balanced high acidity and still somewhat grippy medium tannins. The finish is very developed and quite tertiary with mature flavours of wizened cranberries and redcurrants, some earthy tones, a little bit of pouch tobacco, light dusty notes of old wood, a hint of sous-bois and an umami touch of consommé or something meaty.

Château Château Boyd Cantenac
Château Boyd Cantenac
Château Boyd Cantenac

Château Boyd Cantenac is a wine estate in Bordeaux. Located in the commune of Cantenac in Gironde, the château produces its wines under the Margaux appellation (AOC). Jacques Boyd, Joséphine de Boyd and La Croix de Boyd-Cantenac are the three second wines of Château Boyd Cantenac.

The grand vin of Boyd Cantenac (for recent vintages) is dark, dense, with a complex nose where fruit competes with tertiary aromas from ageing and bottle maturation. On the palate, the attack is smooth and progressive, followed by a sensation of volume that fills and coats the mouth. The finish, with its well-present tannins, guarantees excellent ageing potential. 

The best vintages of Château Boyd Cantenac are the 1947 vintage, great growths of 1953, the 1961 vintage, and the classified growths of 1982. Finally, the 2000 vintage and the 2005 wines are excellent.
