Chateau Brane-Cantenac, Margaux, France 2014 Chateau Les Cruzelles silky Lalande de Pomerol

silky Lalande de Pomerol

ultra-fine tannins

It will be lovely to see how this evolves over the next decade or longer

The nose of the 2019 Ultreia Saint Jacques is nothing short of spectacular

so it was a sharp wine to start with and was sharpened further by its aging in a winery some 400 meters from the sea

Chateau Brane-Cantenac, Margaux, France 2014 Chateau Les Cruzelles silky Lalande de PomerolThis is a complete wine, full of both tannins and great swathes of ripe fruit. It has a serious side as well in its solid structure and concentration. The juicy blackberry fruits are beginning to calm down and meld into a fine dense wine that will age very well. 94 Pts Wine Enthusiast
