Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Branaire-Ducru has a light, slightly simple bouquet: red berry fruit, singed leather and cedar, autumnal in style and maybe missing a little vigor simply through the passing of time. The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasant tartness on the entry, gentle grip in the mouth and plenty of tightly wound black, graphite-infused fruit on the finish. Not bad, although it feels as if the aromatics are developing quicker than the palate. Tasted February 2017.
Meaty mature aroma. A nice mix of fruit and leathery savour. More leafy on the palate, dry but not drying texture. Middle of the road but better priced than the Beychevelle. (JH)
Mid crimson. Very fresh and complete. Light but very pleasant and beautifully balanced. (JR)

This Fourth Growth estate, just a stone’s throw from the wide expanse of the Gironde estuary, has been revitalised under the stewardship of former banker and businessman Patrick Maroteaux, who purchased the property in 1988.
