Château Brane-Cantenac
Grand Cru Classé en 1855 Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend
Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
This 2016 is still too young. Tight and needs many years to mature properly.
Elegant and robust.
Delicious nonetheless. Has great potential.
92 points.

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good. Blackcurrant, cedar, vanilla, violet, big berry fruit, some herbal tea, black tea, ginger spice, and licorice. Vivacious and punchy. There is still prominent oak, but the balance is spot on. This is a long distance runner for sure, a very ripe, broad shouldered, delicious Margaux.

Medium ruby , with garnet ruby rim . Quite cool spicy cassis , mineral grafite nose . Blackberry , seashell , mineral notes . On the palate good richness with ripe blackberry , cassis and grafite . Lovely ripe , fine tannins and really good freshness . Good grafite , cassis tinged length. Shows a lot of potential , young still , needs time .. come back in 10 years and will last well a further 10 .

16.5+/20 (90+/100) В аромате много спелой чёрной смородины и шоколада, есть гвоздика и лавровый лист. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и довольно интенсивными, тонкими по текстуре танинами. Недостаёт насыщенности во вкусе. Пока слишком молодое и прямолинейное вино, но с несомненным потенциалом.
