Community Tasting Note

• pavel_p Likes this wine: 93 points

  June 10, 2016 - Had a great bottle of the 1986 Brane Cantenac 3 years ago, probably the best vintage of BC I have had among those excellent 70s and 80s vintages produced at this Chateau. Hence was excited to try it again. Excellent bottom neck fill and cork. PnP as I was not sure how advanced this wine would be. Healthy color with a fairly dark garnet but needs a good 90 min in the open bottle to show its best. Compared to the bottle 3 years ago the dark fruit has retreated a fair bit but is still providing nice balance with some beautiful notes of cigar box, leather and cedar. A great bottle to sip on its own without food and enjoy. Medium plus finish. Great wine if you can find it.
