Tasted at the Brane-Cantenac vertical at the château, the 2012 Brane-Cantenac, now in bottle, has developed a satisfying bouquet of blackberry, tar and tobacco, keeping within the Brane-Cantenac style, but perhaps delivering a little more fruit intensity than it showed out of barrel. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and well-judged acidity. There is a pleasant fleshiness here with a salinity on the finish that urges another sip. This is commendable for the vintage, although I would suggest it will offer more pleasure in its youth, rather than something that I would insist upon cellaring. Tasted January 2016. |

Château Brane-Cantenac 2012 Nez intense avec des notes très variées : tabac, miel, cire, rose, réglisse, mure. Attaque très soyeuse et ronde. Tanins veloutés avec une belle concentration et un milieu de bouche dense. Forte retro olfaction sur des notes truffées. A boire maintenant mais garde encore un grand potentiel de garde. |
