Enjoyed a perfect example of the 1990 Ch. Latour! Pulling the cork and decanting delivered a stunning bouquet of minerals, leather and ripe cassis fruit. After decanting for two hours, the wine showed off its ripe sweet tannins, beautiful fruit and 30+ second finish. The wine showed better than I expected! Very happy😃 — 9 years ago

I don't say this lightly but this tastes as close to Petrus as you will get. This has all the blue clay that the vineyard of Petrus benefits from as well as a great winemaker Jean-Luc Thunevin! Loads of black fruits, mocha and mulberry. Great intensity with a hedonistic feel. This will drink well young as well as last 15 plus years. Sante!

Nice to have but not worth the price of admission. Stored impeccably since release. It lacks all the qualities of what I consider to be a great wine. I'm an old world guy, what can I say. — 9 years ago

The 2000 Chateau Brane Cantenac was absolutely singing. It's in a great place right now and imagine will be for a while. It had its telltale aromatics of graphite, tobacco, black currant and a stunning floral character. It was followed by just pure, rich, concentrated and mouth filling flavors. Seamless is a good word here. This is truly a remarkable Margaux showing off its elegant, silky power! Pop one if you have some. I can't believe I drank the whole thing. — 10 years ago

Tasted blind last night, this is a tightly wound example that will prove to be a great addition to anyone's near term drinking collection. This over delivers for its price point. — 9 years ago
