Score 65/100 · Drink 1987, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
The 1976 is now fading and beginning to exhibit considerable brown at the edges. This loosely knit wine lacks firmness, concentration, and structure. The round, pleasant, soft, somewhat flabby, fruity flavors have become more unknit with the passage of time, and the barnyard dirtiness has become more pronounced. Drink it up. Anticipated maturity: Now-probably in serious decline. Last tasted, 11/87.

Brane Cantenac
Château Brane-Cantenac has been a consistent performer in the Margaux wine appellation since Henri Lurton took over the property, but thanks to replanting and investment in the last decade, quality has seen another sharp upswing.
