2019 Brane-Cantenac, Margaux
Review Date: 09-15-2026
I'm glad I gave this time to come out of its shell. It was a bit shy at first, but 3 hours later, it's showing a very pretty nose of red cherry, cassis, sandalwood, cedar, cigar ash, potpourri, and bay leaf. The tannins are fine and elegant, and crisp acidity lends it a bright, harmonious finish. Overall, quite delicate and perfumed, particularly among the 2019s. This is an absolutely killer value for lovers of Margaux's hallmark aromatics. Drink now with a decant and revisit over the next 15-20 years.
2021 Boroli "Cerequio" Barolo
Review Date: 09-08-2026
Usually the most approachable of Boroli's cru wines, the Cerequio is irresistibly charming in 2021. Crushed raspberries, cranberries, rose, and pine needles lead the attack followed by a distinctive truffle note across the palate.
Texturally, there is crisp acid and surprisingly resolved tannins for such a young wine. While this is ready to drink now, it will be well worth revisiting over the next 5-10 years as more sous bois and dried fruit aromas add to the impressive chorus.
