Merchant's description
The superb second wine of Château Brane-Cantenac, produced from a blend of 58% Merlot and 42% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. A complex nose dominated by liquorice and fresh leather, vanilla and hawthorn aromas. The silky and intense medium-bodied palate offers dark plum and gravelly notes with finesse. Nice fresh and long finish.
