Chateau Branaire Ducru 2006 Cru Classe St Julien
Chateau Branaire Ducru 2006 Cru Classe St Julien. Branaire has been a particularly good source of fine St Julien in the last decade and 2005 was a triumph. The 2006 is a good wine for the vintage, with a deep colour and an almost minty Cabernet edge to the nose.
Robert Parker 90+ points. "By no means comparable to their sensational 2005 or 2003, but still an outstanding wine, this singular St.-Julien always possesses notes of spring flowers, boysenberries, black currants, and graphite. The complex aromatics are followed by a medium-bodied, classic Bordeaux displaying a deep ruby/purple color as well as moderately high tannin. It needs 3-5 years of bottle age, and should last for two decades or more."
