Le Baron de Brane Margaux

This refined and appetising claret is the second wine of Henri Lurton's historical estate Brane-Cantenac. A delightfully fresh and vibrant Margaux, now at its peak after nearly a decade in bottle. 94/100 - Very open and aromatic, with dark currant, graphite and dried lavender aromas that follow through to a medium body with fine tannins and a savory finish. Hints of cedar and dried citrus at the end. Firm, integrated tannins that are caressing and fine. Second wine of Brane Cantenac. Drink now and enjoy. - James Suckling 90/100 - Brane-Cantenac's 2016 Baron de Brane is a silky, gracious second wine from Brane-Cantenac that is ideal for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Expressive floral and savory notes add brightness to a core of sweet red berry and plum fruit. The 2016 is delicate and a touch lithe in the glass, with superb balance and tons of sheer immediacy. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
