The 2015 Brane-Cantenac is a classy Margaux that is drinking beautifully at ten years old. It still has those blackberry and bilberry scents mixed with tobacco and light minty aromas that I have not noticed in previous bottles. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, a keen line of acidity, bright red fruit mixed with curry leaf and touches of black tea. It doesn't have the chutzpah of a truly great Brane-Cantenac on the finish but conveys a sense of class. Tasted at the 2015 Ten-Year-On tasting at Bordeaux Index. 02/2025

The 2015 Brane-Cantenac is medium to deep garnet-purple in color with a nose of crushed black berries and chocolate-covered cherries with touches of fried herbs and tilled soil. Medium-bodied, refreshing and elegant in the mouth, with chewy tannins, it has an herbal lift on the finish. Februar 2018

Quite impressive ripe dark plums and blackberries with sweet, earthy depth and cedary background oak on the nose. The palate has smooth, slick tannins that carry rich dark fruit long and fresh. This has terrific energy and depth. Really vibrant. Incredible length. Drink from 2022. Februar 2018
