Here is one of the 1995s that I have greatly appreciated since its birth. This tasting confirms its very good structure. It stands out for the absence of harsh tannins on the finish. Very beautiful dark red, with black reflections and very slight evolution on the rim. Beautiful nose, fresh, fruity, pure, intense. More subtle on the decanted wine. Very beautiful entry on the palate, smooth, developing slender on a good body. Throughout the palate the wine plays between smoothness, softness and tannic firmness. Never is the tannin rough or massive. And yet it remains present on the finish. Beautiful sapid length. One savors it! A wine that perfumes the palate in the persistence. Here a short decanting (5 minutes) opened up the finish.

Avoiding the hardness displayed by many wines from 1995, this is drinking great at 21 years of age. Slightly more interesting on the cedar, tobacco and spicy, dark, red fruit filled nose, than the medium/full bodied, eleganty styled, soft, fresh, cassis finish.

Dark crimson. Quite evolved, slightly stewed-fruit nose. Big, dusty berry fruit on the front palate. Then lots of dusty tannin. Bit of a bruiser that should eventually settle down.

Château Branaire Ducru

Château Branaire Ducru is a fourth growth classified (official 1855 Bordeaux wine classification) from the Saint-Julien appellation in Médoc. The vineyard covers nearly 60 hectares of vines. Château Branaire-Ducru is now one of the jewels of Saint Julien. It is highly sought after for its very pure red fruit. Its typical composition, mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, opens with bright aromas of raspberry and blackberry, before becoming more complex on the palate with delicate nuances of mineral, pencil lead, smoke and spring flowers... The Château also produces a second wine: Duluc de Branaire Ducru.

The best vintages of Château Branaire Ducru are 1975, 1982 grand cru wines, 1989, the 1995 vintage and the 1996 vintage. The wines from 2000, 2001, 2003 vintage and 2005 are also exceptional. Finally, the grand crus from 2009, 2010 vintage and the 2015 vintage are great vintages.
