Decanted 3 hours. Upon decanting heavy leather book color w/tight aroma. 1st pour nose of ripe plums & soft leather. Flavor or soft leather, light oak w/strong balanced legs. Wine opened to ripe blackberries & continued soft leather w/excellent full finish. Served with appetizer of Parmesan Reggiano & soppressata /Primi - Mushroom Risotto / Secondi - Lamb chops w/roasted fennel. An exceptional accompaniment to the meal!

Of course not the most complex or profound wine, but perfectly pleasant and drinkable as an "entry level" wine. To be honest this could pass as a Second, rather than Third Wine so deserves plaudits for that.
Tasted along with Baron de Brane and Brane Cantenac Grand Vin.

Tasted this at the International Congress of Chinese Cuisine & Wine, Chateau Brane-Cantenac Masterclass at The Tower Club.
Very ripe with notes of strawberries and cherries. Quite ready for drinking in the immediate future.

Medium deep ruby and purple, garnet at the rim. Expressive nose reveals darker fruits such as ripe black cherry, black cherry, vanilla and warm bread.
The wine is rich and concentrated. Opulent and round, the richness of the warm vintage comes through. Finishes a little short. Drink now.

Dark red. Silky bouquet. Blackcurrent, plums, dry leaf, summer forest, tobacco vanilla, oak. Rounded on the palate. Refined finesse.
