Chateau Brane-Cantenac Margaux 2016 Size:750ml

Chateau Brane-Cantenac Margaux 2016 Size:750mlThe 2016 Brane Cantenac has been on a roll of late, under the watchful eye of Henri Lurton. This latest bottled vintage is superb. The divine, pure blackberry and bilberry bouquet develops touches of graphite in the glass. The palate is medium bodied with fine tannin, silky smooth texture and a superb bead of acidity. This is not a powerful Brane Cantenac, and it is perhaps less austere than I suspected en primeur, but it should drink beautifully over
