92 Wine Spectator
An elegant, floral style of St.-Julien, with violet and lilac notes out front, followed by rooibos tea, red currant and bitter cherry flavors. The long, stony finish has ample acidity and drive. This should develop into a charmer. Score range: 89-92 –JM
92 James Suckling
A juicy young wine with berry, cherry and currant character. Medium to full body with well-integrated tannins and a juicy finish. Pure and delicious. Very well done.

Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Recht intensives Bouquet, schöne Kirschennoten, dahinter Johannisbeeren und fein florale Züge. Im Gaumen recht dicht, etwas extrahiert wirkend und mit erstaunlich guter Substanz, das Finale zeigt gewisse Zwetschgentöne und wieder blumig-florale Noten, also eine dezent kühle Ausstrahlung vermittelnd, was dem Jahrgang entspricht. Von der generellen Dichte her, kann er noch zulegen. warten (2019 - 2038)

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.
