Château Brane-Cantenac
Grand Cru Classé en 1855 Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend
Exceptional. Red fruits on the nose blood and iron on the finish. Great weight and mouthfeel. More complex current, cassis and anise notes came out with air.

Dec 20th, 2021A ridiculous amount of fruit remains intact here. A ton of secondary truffle & savory character shows. The vibrant nature is shocking in every good way. I modestly would say that I've been lucky enough to taste quite a few 82's and this is among the best ones.

1 person found it helpfulApr 24th, 2017What an elegant wine. This #chateaubranecantenac had incredible complexity and balance. All the notes showed as a classic #grandcruclasse #bordeaux. The fruit was sweet, the structure was finessed, and the length was great. #medoc #margaux #cabernetsaugvinon #blend #ctbucklinwine

Jul 17th, 2016Fantastic to see this beauty still rocking along. Could have another 5-8 years but lucky to enjoy it with friends

Jun 17th, 2016About as perfect as middle-term, pedigreed Bordeaux gets. None of the overblown fruit problems that characterize the vintage here. Just 100% sexy old-school Bordeaux. Reliable, dependable, and still (kind of) affordable at $325 in a Times Square restaurant.

Jan 17th, 2014Animal flavor. Leather. Still elegant and acidic. But when opening, cork stripped to inside of bottle. That means. 1982 @, Kai - JH, 190406-190601

Apr 6th, 2019What a treat! A bit behind its peak though but still vibrant with strawberry notes and faded tannins. The nose was all toasty and mushrooms. Good tasting experience. Had a blast sharing this with friends born in 82
