  First rate old Bordeaux with plenty of life. Earth, forest floor, dark fruit but not fading at all. Elegant, integrated and long on the palate.

  This bottle with a low shoulder fill was pleasurable in the tertiary if anonymous way that very old Bordeaux can be. A better kept bottle last year (different source) still showed incredible vitality and personality.

  Poured directly from a pristine Nicolas bottle with an upper shoulder fill to glass and followed, this showed brilliantly from the first moment. Big, plush, sublime nose of raspberry, rose, violet, sous-bois. A tiny bit of volatile acidity actually seems to add to the surprisingly refreshing nose. Delicious palate; all silk now. Remarkable longevity - I do hope that whoever is making Brane at the moment has tasted this to serve as a template! 96+

  Acker Merrall Pre-Auction Tasting (Le Cirque - New York NY): Tasting, brief note. Cigar box aromas with fully mature black cherry and spice notes. Surprisingly bright flavors as well, even if slightly lean at the very end. Good length. What a treat.

  Brick colored, this piece of history is filled with complex aromas of Cuban cigars, pipe tobacco, cherry blossoms, leather, soy and smoke. With the beautiful patina of age, rusty black cherries, spice, backed dark berry pies and spice. The wine began to fade after 20 minute. But those initial moments were memorable. It is always a treat to enjoy history.
