2008 - Chateau Brane Cantenac

"This is one of the most complex wines of the appellation, exhibiting notes of underbrush, sweet currants, cherries, and subtle touches of roasted herbs, incense, and spice box. It does not possess the power or depth of the 2005, and may not even eclipse the 2006, but it is a beautiful, pure, mid-weight, well-balanced, impeccably pure Margaux that should drink well for 15+ years." -The Wine Advocate, 90-93 pts.
"Delicate for the vintage, with plum and fresh basil character. Medium-bodied, with refined tannins and crisp acidity." -Wine Spectator, 86-89 pts.
