I can't say enough about how beautifully classic racy and gracious the wines of Brane Cantenac have become over the last decade. The stunningly elegant 2006 exhibits a sweet subtle smoke note intermixed with creme de cassis in its medium-bodied style with superb nobility concentration and sweet tannin. Possessing a complex luscious personality with strikingly beautiful velvety tannins it should be at its finest between 2012-2025+.

Medium bodied, showing some aging in the color, the wine is sweet, soft, fresh and open, displaying none of the hard tannins found at many Left Bank estates in this vintage. The elegant, cherry and spice filled finish shows nice freshness in its character. You can enjoy this now, or age it for at least another decade.

Displays plum jam and currant bush on the nose. Full-bodied, with sweet, ripe fruit, soft, round tannins and a long finish. Slightly loose knit at the moment, but will come together with bottle age. Builds on your palate. Needs time. Best after 2013.
