Château Brane-Cantenac Margaux de Brane (Margaux de Henri Lurton) 2016

The wine's youthful vigor is evident in its signature style, reflective of the best of Bordeaux. The deep, robust ruby tinge is a testament to the grapes' early ripeness, while the aromas of concentrated black fruit and earthy herb touches evoke a sense of richness and depth. On the palate, the wine unfolds with a decadent tapestry of flavors, featuring blackberry, currant, and cherry, accompanied by elegant cedar and tobacco notes. The firm, grainy tannins provide a rewarding structure, in contrast the long close is punctuated by a return of fruit, spice, and earthy mineral notes, leaving a long impression.

Velvety and enjoyable wine with a soft complexity, its profiles of blackberry, plum, and vanilla are well-balanced and harmonious, with a hint of pepper adding intensity and a medium crispness and length that make it a smooth tasting experience.

The nose is marked by a rich and earthy fruitiness, augmented by the character of ripe opaque berries and nuances of oak. The taste is smooth, with a long linger that reveals the wine's complexity, featuring suggestions of bold chocolate and tobacco.
