Chateau Branaire Ducru 1996

Complex and earthy, Chateau Branaire Ducru 1996 (Saint-Julien, Bordeaux) is medium ruby, with aromas of earth/minerals and faint smoke & cedar, followed by a complex and rich palate, mature fruit and smooth tannins on the finish. Peaked, drink now. Score 15/20. Hogi Hyun, 1 Dec 2005.
