Lovely inky colour, well measured extraction, but high acidities running through blueberry and cassis fruits that brings things swiftly to a close. Potential upscore in bottle. An estate with plenty of interest right now, lots of focus on working the vineyards. Arjen Pen owner.
89/100 Jane Anson

Not the easiest place to make wine in this vintage, with lots of mildew losses on important parcels – above all the Merlot. But there’s no sense of that in the wine itself, other than the more elevated level of Cabernet Sauvignon. This is reassuringly Branas in its richness, depth and sense of layering, even if it’s not as precise or focussed as the great recent vintages from here. But there’s a pleasing levity and an almost aerial quality to this that must have been difficult to achieve. I love the peppery notes that underscore the dark berry and cassis fruit and the natural sweet juiciness of the fruit. Graphite a plenty. Characteristically bold, the most powerful wine of the appellation in this vintage and probably the best.

Deep garnet-purple colored. Opens with notes of fresh raspberries and wild strawberries plus hints of lavender, spearmint, and pencil lead. The light to medium-bodied palate is lively with good intensity, featuring lightly chewy tannins and a red berry-laced finish.
