  Opened with very little expectations given the very difficult Bdx year and a mid shoulder bottle with signs of leakage some time ago. Struggled to get the slightly sunk in cork out with the Durand. Bricking in the glass but clear. On the nose surprisingly clean as well. Dried fruit, some leather and wood spices. Seamlessly integrated for a wine that must had seen quite some sugar added. A touch medicinal but not oxidized. Very nice

  6/12. Decanted for about 90 min. Showing much more loosely knit than the last bottle with some oak but now also plenty of tobacco and leather notes on the palate. Unlike the very smooth Malartic Lagraviere this has a more sandy texture. Very good Bdx and of similar quality as the 09 Malartic Lagraviere but curious to see if the Brane will be the better wine in the mid term.

  Been some time since my last, not entirely convincing bottle but this is back to old form. Pnp after we finished an 09 Brane Cantenac. A fair bit of oak on the nose but then this is Pnp. Unlike the very last bottle, this is again fresh like earlier bottles and super smooth on a medium body. Good length too. Very well done and not showing any of the overripeness of the most recent bottle
