Chateau Brane Cantenac

93 THE WINEADVOCATE: "The 2000 Brane-Cantenac is a blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 55% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. It has a really wonderful bouquet that is coming into its own: potent with black truffle and gravel infusing the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline tang on the entry. It is not a powerful or huge wine, but there is impressive length here and genuine complexity on the finish, with black truffle, cedar and tobacco notes vying for attention. Henri Lurton oversaw a really quite fabulous, almost aristocratic Brane-Cantenac in this millennial year. Tasted April 2015." 91 WINESPECTATOR: "Rather open, with a briary backdrop to the core of juicy plum, blackberry and black currant confiture notes. There are fresh anise and lilac flavors too, with the finish showing a cedary echo while staying supple in feel overall.--Blind 2000 Bordeaux retrospective (December 2015). Drink now through 2020." 90 THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "With a developed nose, tobacco, truffle, cassis and earthy scents are easy to find. Medium bodied and elegant in style, the wine ends wine a sweet cherry and cassis filled finish. This is close to fully mature and should be enjoyed over the next decade for maximum freshness."

Der Chateau Brane-Cantenac 2020 begeistert mit einer intensiven Aromatik von reifen Brombeeren, Schwarzkirschen und Cassis, begleitet von zarten floralen Noten und einem Hauch von Menthol. Der Wein zeigt am Gaumen eine reiche, konzentrierte Textur, die durch feine, aber feste Tannine gut strukturiert ist. Nuancen von Lakritz, Tabak und dunkler Schokolade verleihen ihm zusätzliche Tiefe. Der Abgang ist langanhaltend, geprägt von eleganten, geschliffenen Tanninen und einer erfrischenden Frische, die die Intensität der Frucht perfekt balanciert. Ein wahres Meisterwerk, das mit klarer Definition und bemerkenswerter Eleganz überzeugt.
