Lot #264. Branon 2009

Description: Consists of 1 Imperial, 6L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 98 RP.
"This magnificent, dense plum/purple-colored Pessac-Leognan reveals notes of scorched earth, burning embers, blackberries and truffles. Composed of Merlot and Cabernet Franc from a vineyard gorgeously situated between Malartic Lagraviere and Haut-Bailly, it possesses full-bodied power, a stunningly intense, voluptuous, layered mouthfeel and abundant levels of fruit, glycerin and tannin. The 2009 ranks alongside the magnificent 2000, which is aging at a glacial pace. Unfortunately, proprietress Helene Garcin only produces around 500 cases of this somewhat cult-ish Pessac-Leognan." Wine Advocate #199, Dec 2011
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $600
