Brane-Cantenac 2021 – Margaux 2ème Grand Cru Classé

The nose is aromatic, elegant and offers a nice precision/definition, a fine intensity in its elegance, a nice airiness in its delicacy in its power, harmony. There are notes of fresh/pulpy blackberry, bright blackcurrant and more lightly raspberry combined with fine ripe cherry, delicate/discrete violet, an imperceptible roasted hint of the fruit (in the background), fine nutmeg, a subtle hint of fresh pepper/sichuan and a delicate vanilla. The palate is nicely fresh, mineral, balanced and reveals a juicy/acidic structure, a nice sapidity, energy, a discreet crispness, a fine infusion side, a very nice fineness of grain and a nice harmony. On the palate this wine expresses juicy/pulpy raspberry, fresh cherry and slightly fresh lily notes combined with delicate touches of racy minerality, a subtle hint of graphite, chocolate (background and coating), salinity, a subtle hint of fresh/crunchy red berries, an imperceptible hint of fresh blue plum (background). The tannins are sapid, elegant and racy. Good length.
