Note di degustazione
A more natural style of fruit on the nose here. Broad. Some spice. This is laid back and unforced. Some volume to this. Honest, and good. Joss Fowler, FINE+RARE, April 2015.

The 2014 Branaire-Ducru has a "quieter" bouquet than its peers, a little muted at first, though well-defined with mainly black tertiary fruit laced with tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. It's a classically styled Saint-Julien that might lack a bit of substance for some on the finish, though it conveys a sense of drinkability. It's one of the few Left Bank wines to show better now than six years earlier. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.
Tasted blind. Bricky rim. Scented and inviting with black and dark-red fruits. Silky tannins. Somehow a little flat/bitter on the finish. (JH)
