Chateau BRANE-CANTENAC Margaux 2008
$195.00 SGD
Wine Region: Bordeaux - France
Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Tasting notes: Subtle nose with notes of black fruit, liquorice and eucalyptus with a touch of new leather. An elegant and young attack, a nice volume and a nice fullness. The mid-palate is round and the tannins well melted. The finish is moderately long with an aromatic return on smoky notes.
