Description
Long considered a drinkers Bordeaux, this 4eme Cru St Julien is an outstanding success this year.
“Branaire-Ducru is gorgeous in 2016. A rush of inky blue/purplish fruit, licorice, violet, lavender and dark spices give the wine its rich, textured feel. Gracious and nuanced, in the classic Branaire style, the 2016 possesses lovely depth and sensuality, with no hard edges and terrific overall balance. Time in the glass brings out the wine's more floral and spiced notes. Above all else, Branaire is a wine of finesse despite its considerable intensity. It is also arguably the most polished of the Saint-Juliens.” 92-95/100 Galloni – Vinous 94-97/100 Wine Spectator 95-96/100 James Suckling
