2009 Terrien Wines Chardonnay
4/13/2024 - MaineMark Likes this wine: 93 Points
This is so good, and such a treat to drink 15 year old Chardonnay. Green apple and bits of lemon and butter. Everything is so well integrated, with no hard edges at all. Drank two bottles, and no sign of oxidation or age on either. Excellent now, but undoubtedly fun to try again in a few years.

2020 Château Brane-Cantenac
8/12/2023 - MaineMark Likes this wine:
Background: Group of 5 Family members tasted 5 young 2020 Bordeaux, all from different AOCs. Wines Tasted: Clos Fourtet, Château Clinet, Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion, Château Pontet-Canet, Château Brane-Cantenac.
The Brane-Cantenac got one first place vote, and I believe this was everyone else’s second favorite choice (regardless of their first choice). When the notably lower price point was revealed, everyone was impressed. Bright blackberry fruits, with smokey and tobacco flavors, and deep earthy flavors. “Just yummy.”

The Pontet-Canet was appreciated by everyone, but not a favorite. The consensus fourth choice. Very rich, dark fruits and tobacco. One described it as being almost like drinking a stout beer. Some sweetness and chalk.
