2020 vintage. Branaire Ducru is always a good idea, and so is the second wine Duluc de Branaire Ducru ( and not Château Duluc as the app suggests). A blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 5,5% Cabernet Franc, and 1,5% Petit Verdot . The nose is a bit closed initially, with some air black and red fruit, lead pencil, and flowers appear. An elegant style,accessible now, but I am sure it will benefit from a few more years in the bottle.Abv. 13%. — 7 days ago

2025 vintage (primeur). Talbot is known for always showing much better in bottle than during primeur tastings, so this score is probably underrated. — 2 days ago
