Score 75/100 · Drink 2018, Neal Martin, Jan 2019

The 1980 Brane-Cantenac was picked October 13–27, which is one of the latest harvests on record. Like the 1981, the bouquet is clinging on for its life, but not totally disagreeable, offering scents of warm bricks and autumn leaves. Just don’t expect gobs of fruit. The palate is light-bodied with dry tannin, hollow and very fatigued and thin toward the dilute finish. This is of curiosity value only. Tasted at the Brane-Cantenac vertical at the château .

Score 74/100 · Drink 1984, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

This light-bodied with possesses an innocuous, faintly fruity aroma. The wine has shallow, yet clean, fruity flavors, and a short finish. Drink up. Anticipated maturity: Now-probably in serious decline. Last tasted, 10/84.

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.
