Note di degustazione
The 2002 Branaire Ducru was partly made with Philippe Dhalluin and Dominique Arangoïts, who said there was a lot of discussion about the blend at the time. It has an open-knit, earthy bouquet with black fruit, wild mint, singed leather and a touch of potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied with mainly red fruit, white pepper, clove, a slight grittiness to the tannins but with commendable depth and freshness towards the finish. Fine acidity and bite, this is a Saint-Julien that is à point . Tasted at the château.

Blackish crimson. Very light nose. Lots of acidity. Probably a pretty true reflection of the vintage, which means it’s not exactly charming. (JR)
Rich chestnuts on the nose. Unusual. A little bit tarty but lots of impact! (JR)
