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

Rich dark berries and black cherry with signature Santa Rita Hills spice dominate the aroma profile and offer great complexity to compliment the multidimensional palate. Wonderful textures and flavors of stewed strawberries, cherries, and sandalwood offer a lovely experience. This is drinking very very well now and will be great for another 5 years easy. — 9 years ago
