The 2016 Branaire Ducru has a fragrant bouquet of plush blackberry and graphite aromas, hints of bilberry and briar developing in the glass. The medium-bodied palate is quite succulent and multilayered, offering supple tannin and gentle grip on the finish. Real potential here. One of the best Branaire Ducru in recent years. Chapeau! Score: 93 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2023-2055 Date: 01 January 2019 |

Juicy, savoury nose. Fresh and fine-boned. Could only be bordeaux - tant mieux! Silky texture with some energy. Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2026-2043 Date: 18 April 2017 |

A fresh bay leaf note leads off, followed quickly by pure, enticing layers of cassis, blackberry and black cherry fruit that emerge steadily through the long finish. Offers lovely mouthfeel and purity. A very pretty expression of St.-Julien. Score: 94 - 97 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Date: 06 April 2017 |
