2021 Markham Vineyards Merlot Château Saint-Pierre the Brane-Cantenac features bold scents

the Brane-Cantenac features bold scents of redcurrant jelly

but this is age-worthy and is likely to morph into something stunning in a decade

but it's not overpowering and the oak gives the wine spiciness and creaminess

cinnamon and fresh sage complemented by hints of leather and ripe black cherry

This wine is suited to medium aging thanks to its tannins

2021 Markham Vineyards Merlot Château Saint-Pierre the Brane-Cantenac features bold scentsNotes of dark berries, dried cherries, licorice and dark chocolate. Medium to full bodied, spiced and dark fruited with chalky, slightly dry tannins. Succulent finish. A little earthy at the end. Sustainable. Drink or hold. 92 Pts James Suckling
