1985 CHÂTEAU BRANAIRE DUCRU 1985

(Ed 1998)
The 1985 is a spicy, plummy, tasty wine with undeniable appeal because of precocious fruitiness. Once past all the up-front charm and make-up, there is not much depth or tannin.

(06-1988)
Lively and vibrant on the palate, showing currant, cherry and herbal flavors in an elegant package of moderate tannins and firm acidity. Fruit flavors last a long time on the finish.
