Tasting Notes

87
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 19
The 1997 Brane-Cantenac was picked September 11 to October 2 at 47hl/ha. As I have found with previous bottles, the bouquet is missing vigor and fruit, offering dusty old attic and antique bureau aromas and a little hollow overall. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin and perhaps a touch more flesh than I anticipated. Perhaps because my expectations were low, I found more to compliment than I presupposed. There is a pleasant salinity here, and black pepper and a touch of clove toward the satisfying finish. This is probably the best bottle I have encountered. Don’t write this off. Tasted at the Brane-Cantenac vertical at the château.

Margaux, in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for producing some of the world’s most elegant red wines. Margaux wines are characterised by floral notes of violet and rose, red and black fruits like cherry and blackcurrant, refined tannins, a silky texture, and a complex, long finish. The region's gravelly soil enhances grape concentration.
