Of the 2 Bordeaux drinking the best tonight, but long term the Brane-Cantenac 2005 will outlive this wine by 10 years easy. While very complex, a fine touch a green is traceable.
A classic currant and forest floor nose, fall leaves abound with a spike of spice and a barely there green that while subtle is apparent.
The pleasure here is higher for its more mature tasted and feel, while the brawny 2005 is a better wine it was not as enjoyable to me and feel it will be another notch enter in 3 years, and likely 2 notches better in 5.
The elegance and feel on this wine is ready to go and will easily go another 5+ years. — 9 years ago

Troisième Cru Classé in 1855. Cantenac-Margaux. Thursday 9th July 2015 at The Connaught hotel. One of Palmer's best vintages over the past 35 years. It is still at its peak without any sign that it is starting to fade. — 10 years ago

Opened for science and found it to be surprisingly open. Classic Cab/ Mer balance with unsubtle but not overwhelming oak and, a day after having a supermarket bottle of Baron de Brane with similar thoughts, makes me wonder if most Bordeaux tastes about the same, if I have a crappy palate, if we are all subject to the narcissism of small differences or all three. Thoroughly enjoyable. I feel like Guy Fieri right now. — 9 years ago
