Château Branaire-Ducru, Ch. Branaire Ducru 2004, 12er owc

90 / 100 Robert Parker
Possessing the finest aromatics of all the 2004 St.-Juliens, Branaire Ducru offers complex licorice, cranberry, boysenberry, and floral notes interwoven with notions of plums and figs. This dark ruby/purple-tinged, medium-bodied, elegant effort offers sweet fruit as well as ripe tannins. Give it 1-3 years of bottle age and drink it over the following 14 -15.

88 / 100 Wine Spectator
Attractive blackberry and currant aromas follow through to a medium- to full-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a medium finish. Refined and pretty. Needs a bit more concentration to be outstanding. Best after 2008. 15,000 cases made.

15.5 / 20 Jancis Robinson
Rather lean and light. Tart. Ungenerous.
