Château Branas Grand Poujeaux Moulis-en-Médoc 2019

Grilled cedar and vanilla bean with polished tannins and sappy hints of vanilla bean and crushed mint leaf. This has a clear gourmet edge, with blackberry and cassis fruits given balance by bitter cardarmon pods and black pepper. Enjoyable, young, concentrated, closed still but with huge potential to age, delivering on its En Primeur promise. 60% new oak.
