Tasted at the Brane-Cantenac vertical at the château, the 2011 Brane-Cantenac is a blend of 37% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 56.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and a pinch of Carmenère. It has a more attractive bouquet than the 2012, demonstrating more complexity and fruit intensity: blackberry and raspberry, a touch of cedar and tobacco thrown into the mix. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, the oak beautifully interwoven into the brambly red berry fruit, gently building with a hint of spice and dry tobacco on the finish. There is just a tad more substance than the 2012, yet it remains elegant, and given the vintage it is sophisticated compared to others this vintage. Tasted April 2015. |

Château Brane-Cantenac 2011 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. |
