Baron de Brane Château Cantenac, Margaux, 2018

Château Brane-Cantenac

Rich and luscious in the glass — succulent red cherry and ripe red plum fruit pushed forward in a soft, racy Margaux that will drink beautifully on release. Good radiance from the vintage with a nice bit of freshness.

Jeb Dunnuck(Saratoga Wine): Deep garnet-purple color. Needs a little swirling to reveal notes of baked black cherries, mulberries, and blackcurrant pastilles, plus tobacco leaf, fruitcake, and Chinese five-spice with a waft of potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, rich and spicy palate with firm, rounded tannins and just enough freshness — long and layered finish.
