Reviews

The 1978, made in a period when the wines of Brane-Cantenac were frequently disappointing, is a modest success. The wine is medium ruby-colored with a moderately intense, berryish, earthy bouquet, and very soft, round, plump flavors with little acidity or tannin present. This 1978 is fully mature. Anticipated maturity: Now-probably in decline. Last tasted, 11/87.
