Deep garnet-purple colored. Slowly unfurls in the glass to reveal fragrant notes of warm red plums, kirsch, and strawberry pie, plus hints of mossy tree bark and black olives. The light to medium-bodied palate is plush and refreshing with impressive intensity and a perfumed finish. Pretty!

The 2023 Brane-Cantenac is deep garnet-purple in color. Scents of blackcurrant jelly, boysenberries, and black raspberries slowly emerge from the glass, giving way to notions of charcoal, pencil lead, and a waft of tree bark. The medium-bodied palate has a solid structure of racy acidity and firm, ripe, grainy tannins supporting the tightly wound black and red fruit flavors, finishing on a lingering mineral note. The blend is 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, with pH 3.59.

The 2021 Brane-Cantenac is deep garnet-purple in color. After a swirl or two, notes of black raspberries, juicy blackberries, and cassis come barreling out of the glass, plus nuances of dried herbs and graphite. The light to medium-bodied palate offers great tension and intensity, with fine-grained tannins and a long, savory finish.

The 2020 Brane-Cantenac is deep garnet-purple in color. It gallops out with energetic scents of black and red currant preserves, fresh boysenberries, and candied violets, plus wafts of bay leaves and graphite. The medium-bodied palate shimmers with vibrant black and red berry flavors, supported by firm, grainy tannins, finishing long and earthy.

Mørke bær på lukt, mørke bjørnebær, vått tre, sigarboks, krydder, noe eiketoner, vanilje og mørke kirsebær. 

Jordbær, bjørnebær, og masse rød frukt på smak. Kjølig frukt, samt unge tanniner, men tilgjengelige. Syren og teksturen på vinen er kompleks, med medium+ konsentrasjon.

Deilig lukt. Deilig konsentrasjon. Sitter lenge.

The 2013 Brane-Cantenac is medium garnet in color, with a touch of brick. It sings of dried roses and cherries, giving way to wafts of aniseed, tree bark, fallen leaves, and wild sage. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers a racy backbone and herb-laced red berries, with a chewy yet approachable texture and a lively finish.

The 2012 Brane-Cantenac is medium to deep garnet colored. It opens with tobacco leaf, leather, and tilled earth scents over a core of prunes and mince pies, plus a suggestion of dried sage. The medium-bodied palate is a little thin yet has nice freshness, offering chewy tannins and a savory finish.

Delicious, although the 2009 is definitely the one to go for at any time over the next decade. In contrast, the 2010 still feels pretty closed, not yet fully expanding through the mid palate. Graphite, pencil lead, crayon, cassis, brambled hedgerow fruit, very Left Bank. 70% new oak. Harvest 27 September to 14 October.

Inside Bordeaux

Ikke den beste årgangen men drikker flott ny med herlige tertiære toner og balansert smak

WSET Diploma

Ruby red, this remains closed on the nose, and the tannic structure is still tight at 17 years old, proof that 2005 retains its ability to frustrate, but the hints of mature notes are finally becoming clear. So much potential and subdued power, linear, focused, great clarity of cassis and bilberry fruit, with 2005 energy showing a core of ripe fruit, tobacco and truffle. Excellent tension and balance, a tightrope walk through the palate here, edges of mandarin peel, raspberry leaf and eucalyptus showing that it wasn't a vintage that delivered overripe fruit, but balance and focus. It needs a little longer to fully express its potential.

Herlig 2004 med flott syre og struktur. Drikker fint nå med flott balanse og lengde. Dette er godt, dette er digg dette er Margaux slik det kan være

Margaux seiler frem som et aldeles nydelig område for vin. Nok en komplett vin som er dyp rød i fargen med noe brun kant. På nesen får man lær, mørke frukter, noe sopp også. Fin munnfylde med god finish. Tanninene griper ikke lenger, men de er til stede.
