Wine from Margaux

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: (JS98-99 points) This is a superb wine. I didn’t think it could be better than the 2015 but indeed it is. Full, layered and sexy. It goes on for minutes with dense fruit, yet it’s also vivid and showcases sublime...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: (WE93-95 points) Powerful tannins and ripe fruit notes set this wine up for a rich future. It has a dark, brooding quality, with smooth wood flavors and a creamy black-cherry aftertaste.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: (WA96-98 points) The 2016 Brane-Cantenac is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Carmenere picked from 22 September until 17 October (the tiny parcel of Carmenere picked three days...

jamessuckling.com, 100 points: (JS99-100 points) I wrote that the 2015 was incredible, and this 2016 is again. It’s equally structured and powerful as the 2015, yet there’s an underlying intellectual serenity to this wine. You taste it, and you want...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: This estate which has continued to impress me in recent years hit a home run in 2000. Showing slightly better than I rated it previously this wine is deep bluish/purple with some lightening at the edge and its floral nose...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: An amazing success in this vintage, the dark ruby/purple-hued 2008 reveals its noble terroir in its complex aromatics of spring flowers and burning embers/charcoal. A medium to full-bodied mouthfeel displaying no hard...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: (JS95-96 points) This is very concentrated yet soft and fresh in texture. Full-bodied and round and mouth-filling. So impressive how it fills your mouth yet remains fresh. It’s so framed.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Another great wine in this vintage, the 2012 Malescot offers up tremendous level of black fruits, charcoal and intense, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, sensational purity, low acidity and ripe tannins. It is...

Wine Enthusiast, 98 points: (WE96-98 points) This wine is massive, dense and solid. At the same time, it has style and elegance. The result is that it is ripe, yet perfumed, with ample black fruit and mouthwatering acidity. Cellar at least 12 years.
