Chateau Brane Cantenac 2005

1 unit available online.
Product description

A delicate and extremely complex nose. At first, intense floral notes of violet and rose petal, which open into aromas of cherry and vanilla. The attack reveals good volume, evolving towards an elegant and full mid-palate. Wonderful soft, rounded tannins with remarkable structure and finesse. Superb length, offering both freshness and signs of excellent maturity. Without doubt a great wine to keep for many years to come.

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast

The fruit has become the main attraction here—layers of ripeness, tempered with an elegant smoothness. The tannins are certainly present in this powerful wine, but they are here to lend support, not dominate. With herbs and very clean black fruits, this is a wine to follow.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

Shows mineral and blackberry aromas, with hints of licorice. Full-bodied, with soft, silky tannins and a long, smoky, earthy, meaty and fruity aftertaste. Long and stylish. Very refined and beautiful.
