Wine Spectator

(06-1989)
Medium-weight, medium-intensity, classic cassis and cedar aromas and flavor s, turning richer, more tannic and a bit tough on the finish.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(Ed 1998)
The 1986 has wonderful opulence and fatness that is surprising to see, particularly in view of the tannic style of many of the 1986 Medocs. However, there is no doubting its ability to age well, as it has plenty of tannin. This full-bodied, impressive Brane-Cantenac displays loads of ripeness, and is deep and long on the palate, with excellent balance. Along with the 1983, this is one of the two best wines produced at the property since the 1961.

Château informations

Brane Cantenac

Henri Lurton is the soul of this estate which already had a good reputation in the eighteenth century. It is true that the terroir is superb. He adds his style, harveting at the height of ripemess, strictly sorting the grapes, stamping the mark of the terroir on the wines, with a richer raw material, a new aromatic complexity and elegance that allow the wines to age longer than in the past. A great Margaux at affordable prices.
