17 Rene Gabriel
Würziger Cabernettouch, florale Noten , Alpenheidelbeeren und Lakritze, mittlere Tiefe anzeigend. Füllig und elegant, fast schon cremige Textur, feine Tannine, gute Balance und recht lang. (17/20). 10: Aufhellendes Granat mit mittlerer Dichte, feiner Rand. Recht offenes Bouquet, milchiger Schimmer, Johannisbeeren, Kirschen und Brombeeren, letzterer Eindruck mit einer delikaten Joghurtnote und hellem Caramel. Wirkt sehr elegant und die schon fast zarten Tannine sind schön integriert, erst im Finale kommt noch ein verlangender Gerbstoffdruck für die nächsten 5 Jahre beginnen (2014 - 2027)

91 Robert Parker
2008: A stunning success for the vintage, this enticing St.-Julien reveals notes of lead pencil shavings, sweet raspberries and black currants and a subtle touch of oak. Elegant, restrained yet authoritative and impressively intense, it is a medium to full-bodied, lightly tannic effort will be even better with 1-2 years of bottle age and will keep for 15-20 years.
91 Wine Spectator
Dark and winey, with mouthfilling crushed currant and plum fruit pushed by even more fig paste and linzer torte notes. Lots of smoldering tobacco, charcoal and iron drives the finish, which has ample but integrated grip. Best from 2013 through 2020. –JM .

Château Branaire Ducru
Found just along the Gironde estuary, Branaire-Ducru is home to some of the greatest soils in the region for winegrowing – gravel. In 1680, Jean-Bapiste Braneyre was the first to discover the incredible potential of this property. The 1855 classification later confirmed the quality of the terroir. Branaire-Ducru and its prestigious neighbors then formed a group of châteaux that are now famous worldwide for their excellent wines. Here, quality is an absolute priority and Branaire-Ducru does everything possible to express the terroir’s intrinsic personality and complexity. Composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, the wines express their character year in and year out with great regularity, displaying an enormous amount of fruit, freshness, and subtlety. The winemaking team is fully devoted to highlighting these characteristics in every vintage, and Branaire-Ducru is invariably an elegant wine and a quintessential Saint-Julien.
