Already drinking well after some decanting, but has the bones to go quite a while. A lot of fruit, but well contained by the structure. Will age well and great value.

2nd label from Brane de Cantenac. same vinification, same optical sorting, but only made with new vines. Forward but with proper cut and grip. Ripe black fruit, vanilla, and sandalwood.

Opened too early. How anyone enjoyed this previous to 2020 is beyond me. 3rd day wine but chose Wagyu Fillet Mignon instead of another cut so my bad. Definitely a 3 day wine or 10 more years

Very nice Bordeaux. Aromatically simple but correct. Wouldn't have guessed 2009 - doesn't have the expected ripeness, even for a second wine.
