Product Description
JS97 "Very attractive aromas of currants, tile and sandalwood with black and red currants. It’s full-bodied with a tight, dense center-palate that remains closed in and tight. Yet there is underlying seriousness and length to this. Perhaps the greatest Branaire-Ducru ever made." JS Jun 2020
AG96 "The 2018 Branaire-Ducru is every bit as captivating as it was en primeur. Ripe, silky tannins give the 2018 a striking air of sensuality that only grows as the wine sits in the glass. Succulent red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, mint, spice and gravel inflections all open more over time. Even with all of its natural radiance, Branaire remains a model of grace. It is unquestionably one of the under the radar wines of the year." AG for VM Mar 2021
"it's a gorgeous, elegant wine you will love to have in the cellar." JD Mar 2021 "This indicates a property that is finding a new lease on life. Excellent. ... Having visited this property for 20 years, I can safely say that this is the most impressive Branaire-Ducru that I have encountered at this stage... The 2018 is dazzling. There's not much else to say." VM 2019
