Branon other_regions elegant and admirably pure noseThe 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
