Château Brane-Cantenac
Baron de Brane Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend
Can't pass up a glass of this when at a French Restaurant. This is an excellent reflection of the velvet hammer Margaux style, and idea of what the top estate wines could offer you from Chateau Brane Cantenac. Black plum skins, dates, blackberry liqueur, pencil box, allspice, medium bodied, focused tannin, perfect for duck l'orange.

Already drinking well after some decanting, but has the bones to go quite a while. A lot of fruit, but well contained by the structure. Will age well and great value.
