Popped and poured.
Decent aromas on the nose, some stewy, herbaceous odors. Some tannins and subtle hints of fruit but otherwise seems rather flat. Drink up.

Re: 1999 Brane Cantenac
We drank this wine as part of a virtual live tasting here on BWE a few years back.
I think we almost unanimously agreed it is a flawed wine.

Probably, it does lack a certain structure but I am not sure that it is flawed. Margaux was weak as a whole in 1999 dont you agree?

Re: 1999 Brane Cantenac
Hmm really? I thought Margaux was the strongest appellation on the left bank in 1999, although I personally only recall having Chateau Margaux, Palmer and d'Issan (in addition to Brane Cantenac), both of which were stunning. I remember in our virtual live tasting everyone basically stopped drinking the Brane Cantenac, it was literally undrinkable. It may have rebounded a year or two later, I think we had some decent experiences with it afterwards.

Margaux weak in 1999? You are kidding, yes?
Re: 1999 Brane Cantenac
