2010 Chateau Brane-Cantenac 2nd Grand Cru Classe Pre-Arrival Offer
After nearly two decades of mediocre performances, Brane Cantenac has been doing impressive work over the last decade. While the 2010 may not eclipse the 2009 or 2005, it is an exceptional wine from proprietor Henri Lurton. A dense purple color is accompanied by a floral-scented bouquet revealing notes of licorice, graphite and red as well as black currants. Layered, rich and concentrated, this impressively constructed, seamless Margaux has plenty of tannin, but it is buried under the extravagant fruit and glycerin. This rich, pure, authoritative 2010 should drink well young yet keep for 25-30+ years.
Drink: 2013 - 2041.
Score: 93-96
Robert Parker Wine Advocate # 194 May 2011
Balanced and polished, with pretty tannins and an attractive fruit. Very elegant for the vintage. Lovely length to the wine.
Score: 91-92
