2011 Chateau Brane-Cantenac 'Le Baron de Brane' Margaux

(90 Points -- Decanter)

There's a concentrated, precise quality to the nose, with black fruit and tobacco notes backing it up. Things close in through the mid-palate, emphasising the spice and suggesting this is still young and has plenty of life ahead of it. Welcome ambition in this second wine manages to not overplay the vintage, and as with the grand vin, the past year or so has really opened things up. . ." (JA)    Review Date: 11/2018
