Description

2009 Château Brane-Cantenac, Margaux, BordeauxRipe and succulent with the lovely perfume of great Margaux, this is concentrated but fresh, supple but structured, and very, very harmonious. Beautifully balanced and with great poise, this wears its 60% new oak like a glove.

very sensual

earth and mint aromas

this is Vintage Port at its most noble

black fruit and ferrous notions

sweet fruit supported by ripe tannins and balancing acidity—a joy to drink now and until 2030
