Château Brane Cantenac Margaux 2003
E-mail this item from Nicholas Roberts Ltd.Château Brane Cantenac Margaux 2003 This great Margaux wine is made at Brane-Cantenac's esatate. Produced from young vineyards it has the fruit notes and the complexity of this exceptional soil. Benefitting from Henri Lurton's wine making skills, it is aged in barrels for one year and racked every three months. Wine Advocate This is another Margaux estate that has become re-energized and is now producing wines consistent with its 150-year-old classification. The dark plum/ruby-colored 2003's stunning aromatics include flamboyant notes of plums, cedar, burning embers, and dried herbs. Full-bodied, elegant, layered, and rich, yet filled with finesse and delicacy, it is surprisingly soft, round, and gentle. While appealing at present, it will evolve for 15-18 years. Score: 91. —Robert Parker, April 2006.Wine Spectator Aromas of blackberry, cherry and light toasted oak. Full-bodied, with soft tannins and a medium finish. Pretty wine. Balanced and refined. Best after 2011. 12,500 cases made. Score: 90. —James Suckling, March 31, 2006. |
