Branon other_regions It is at the beginning

It is at the beginning of a long drinking window

only Tempranillo is used (except for the white which is produced exclusively with Viura)

elegant and admirably pure nose offers up notes of anise

offering juicy dark berry and cherry pit flavors and a touch of licorice

Branon other_regions It is at the beginningThe 2009 Branon has a pure bouquet with black cherries, bilberry and just a touch of boot polish. It feels well defined with nicely integrated oak. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannin, juicy and succulent with a nicely detailed, quite peppery finish with a persistent aftertaste. Based on this performance I might well have under estimated this Pessac Lognan. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin
