On the decline yet still life. Fewer fruit notes and more tertiary notes. Forrest floor, truffles, meat, umami, chocolate. Very interesting and was fun to try to a 50th birthday celebration. Color was still there with garnet hues. Really exemplifies how Bordeaux can age.

low shoulder, Korken zerbröselt und undicht immer noch Charakter und Fülle, leichte Säure, Farbton am verblassen und bräunlich... ausdauernder Margaux?

Why has Brane Cantenac lost reputation in the past? Amazing: still red in color, with only minimal signs of aging. Earthy, Smoke, leather, tobacco, backed up by acids. A stunning performance!

Birth year wines (plus some extra's) (@ JB): Beautiful bouquet with barnyard, coffee, chocolate cinnamon and fennel. On the palate still juicy red fruits acidity, fennel and cinnamon. Still lively and pleasurable. In fact most tasters thought this wine is too old (and in fact it is), I could still discover some pleasurable aspects. Nevertheless no score.

Fresh but a little simple to begin with, just showing loads of sweet cedar. It looks good after an hour in the decanter. There’s a bit of tar and leather along with some animale funk. It is sweet and vinous in the mouth with relatively soft tannins and a gentle kiss of minerally acidity on the finish. A tasty luncheon Claret that we enjoyed at dinner with a dish of Boudin noir.
