Tasting Notes

90
Vinous Neal Martin - 11 Sep 25
The 1998 Brane-Cantenac is a vintage that has been a little variable from bottle to bottle over the years. I am taken by the well-defined, taut and focused nose, where vigorous blackberry and cedar aromas commingle with sous-bois and tobacco. The palate is clean and fresh with gentle grip and rounded, slightly suppler tannins than previous vintages. Sour cherry, rooibos and bay leaf linger on the finish with white pepper on the aftertaste. This is definitely one of the best bottles that I have encountered. Tasted at the Brane-Cantenac vertical at the château in September 2025.

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 10 Sep 25
The deepest colour in the vertical at this point, clear tannic structure, but less clarity of fruit character than the 1996. Attractive balance, think rosebud, cranberry, white truffle, peonies, some appellation signature, and a feeling of deft handling, but soft finish. Harvest September 18 to October 3, 41hl/h yield, 3.76ph, warm but wet vintage, generally better on the Right Bank than the Left. Jacques Boissenot consultant.
