2018 Chateau Brane-Cantenac Margaux [WE96][JD95+][D95][JS95][V95][WA93+]Producer: Chateau Brane Cantenac Region: Margaux, Bordeaux, France Blend: Bordeaux Red Blend Year: 2018 Wine Enthusiast, 96 Points "This is now performing as one of the top Margaux estates. Their latest release shows structure, elegant black fruits and rich tannins. Densely textured and vibrantly fruity, the wine has a fine future. Drink from 2027. *Cellar Selection*" Jeb Dunnuck, 95+ Points "A quintessential Margaux as well as one of the finest wines

"Vivid lemon peel acidity is a fine foil for the rich hints of marzipan

It is a fully structured red with a long finish

"While the Merlot from this estate has always gone under the name Second Flight

and a good value that should keep for 3-4 years

It's ripe at 14% alcohol but keeping very good freshness and acidity

and superior to both the 2016 and 2015
