Chateau Brane-Cantenac, Margaux, 2012
A Second Growth Margaux that has entered full maturity and revealed its true character. The 2012 vintage challenged growers, but the gravelly terroir at Brane-Cantenac allowed for ripening that captured the best of the season. Dense purple color gives way to a classic nose of red fruit, graphite, and tobacco. The palate is velvety yet precise, with fine tannins framing white pepper and fennel notes, balanced by a saline minerality that speaks to decades of careful vineyard management. A wine that's showing beautifully now.
