Blackberries, plums, currants, tobacco and violets on the nose. Bitter chocolate and mocha...refined and focused, with a medium to full body and firm, tightly-knit tannins. Very long, laser-focused and polished. Very classy.
Heady and expressive on the nose, seductive tones of ripe fruit and perfumed flowers. Gorgeous intensity on the palate, rich, round and ripe - gently chewy...cool and refreshing...dynamic undercurrent with tannins that are fine...brooding...clearly well made with definition. There’s a confidence here, vibrant and detailed fruit with an excellent lingering impression of the terroir in the slightly salty, chalky, graphite touch. Layered and well built with supreme classicism.
...incredible bouquet of blackcurrants, black cherries, freshly sharpened pencils, tobacco, and flowers...medium to full-bodied, richly textured, concentrated, yet remarkably elegant 2020 has the vintage's fresher, focused, elegant profile but still brings plenty of flesh and opulence. Beautifully done...
Super-ripe dark blue/black fruit, blueberry jam, crème de cassis, lavender, sage and menthol meld together, giving the Brane-Cantenac an exotic quality that is impossible to miss... Time in the glass brings out a whole range of floral and savory notes that add character and a feeling of updated classicism.
...offering up aromas of blackberries and crème de cassis mingled with notions of licorice, pencil shavings, violets and subtle hints of smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a lavish core of fruit, ripe acids and sweet tannins that assert themselves on the savory finish...
Intensely aromatic with sweet, ripe fresh black fruits. Such pure cassis...compact and polished tannins. Concentrated and plush...elegant. Spicy, fresh finish.
