Chateau Brane-Cantenac 2005

The last wine in our Bordeaux tasting, and being a 2nd growth GCC. After a good 3 hours of decanting, the bouquet showed a fairly pure array of cassis, cherry nougat, pepper, oak and some spice. The palate was again quite pure, lots of deep fruit and well restrained. Structurally it was fruit centred, with oak barely evident, and at times a little vague. Overall quite pleasurable despite its youth, but structurally lacking in tannins. A bit too fruit centred for me.
50+4+13+17+8 = 92/100
