Description
This is a superb, elegant and beautifully crafted wine. Undeniably the finest Brane-Cantenac in 40-50 years, the deep ruby/purple-colored 2000's beautiful aromatics of smoke, black currants, tobacco, earth, and flowers jump from the glass. In the mouth, it is pure, elegant, medium-bodied, with savory tannin and adequate acidity, and a measured yet authoritatively flavored midpalate and finish. Ideal for drinking in 2013. Rating: 92 points, Robert Parker
