Ratings By Robert Parker 86 Tasting Notes This 1996 exhibits a dark ruby color, and a stern, unevolved, backward personality with hard tannin in the finish. Nevertheless, there is fine ripeness, good purity, and a medium-bodied, traditional style. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2014.(Wine Advocate #122 Apr 1999) By Robert Parker
Ratings By Robert Parker 90 Tasting Notes Possessing the finest aromatics of all the 2004 St.-Juliens, Branaire Ducru offers complex licorice, cranberry, boysenberry, and floral notes interwoven with notions of plums and figs. This dark ruby/purple-tinged, medium-bodied, elegant effort offers sweet fruit as well as ripe tannins. Give it 1-3 years of bottle age and… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 74 Tasting Notes Vegetal, composty aromas are somewhat off-putting. In the mouth, some sweet cherry and currant fruit makes up for the barnyard aromatics. The finish is soft, pleasant, but decidedly mediocre. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.(Wine Advocate #158 Apr 2005) By Robert Parker

Despite all this, not quite in the Olympian class of the ’90 and ’91… Read More »
