Château Branaire-Ducru 2009

Weitere Verkostungsnotizen

"Only time will tell whether the 2009, another great effort from Branaire, will eclipse the 2005 and 2003. Certainly at 13.6% alcohol it is the most powerful Branaire ever made, and the final blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot showcases what a great vintage 2009 is for Cabernet Sauvignon. An inky/blue/purple color is followed by raspberry, boysenberry, crushed rock, graphite, and floral notes, and an opaque, broad, dense, substantial, impressively structured wine without any hardness. It requires 4-5 years of cellaring, and should last four decades or more. (Tasted two times.) 2014-2054."Quelle: "The Wine Advocate" issue 188

Branaire hat uns seit einigen Jahren an ausgesprochene Regelmässigkeit und Stiltreue gewöhnt - unsere Erwartungen an diesen Wein sind dementsprechend hoch. Doch der 2009 erfüllt sie mit links; herrliche Aromatik von Beeren und Blumen, FLieder und Rose; ungemein delikat im Ansatz, breitet sich rund im Mund aus und zeigt enorme Tiefe, die Tannin sind herrlich raffiniert und frisch, das Finale voll und lang, reich, aber fruchtig. Grossartig. 2017 bis 2030. Quelle: "WEINWISSER N° 4/2010"

Deep purple red, fragrant and precisely expressed Cabernet cassis, lovely depth of natural ripeness, a finely textured wine, already elegant and will age well. Drink 2015-28."

"Aromas of blueberry, dried citrus fruit and currant. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long, long finish. Structured and tannic, but sweet fruit behind.". J.S."

Drink 2017-2027; Dark crimson with a pale rim. Very light nose with a rather unwelcome note of coconut. Sweet start and very fondu. Just a little simple but lusciously so. I am perhaps looking a gift horse in the mouth here though the tannins on the finish are pretty rustic. If this were sold at an attractive price it would please many. Some real succulence."

"The most well behaved of all the Saint-Juliens wines we tasted, offering great substance and perfectly controlled tannins, great aromatic diversity. A great wine in this great vintage." Quelle: "TOP 100 BORDEAUX RATINGS"
