Chateau Brane-Cantenac Margaux 2009 750ml

An outstanding year, and the ripeness gives the traditional, classic Brane-Cantenac a tad more depth, richness and concentration, with very good density of flavors. Almost full-bodied with abundant tannins. There is obvious cabernet character, showing paprika, dark olives, white pepper and cigar box. The wine is unmistakably Brane-Cantenac, showing restraint and class. An opulent, and complete wine. 53% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot and 7% cabernet franc. Drink or hold. From a vertical tasting at the winery.
