Château Branaire (Duluc-Ducru)
Duluc de Branaire-Ducru Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Julien, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Tonight's wine I have opened the 2010 Chateâu Branaire-Ducru Duluc de Branaire-Ducru.
On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, black currant, game, eucalyptus, chocolate and earth.
On the palate there is black cherry, blackberry, plum sauce, black currant, dried herbs, spice and earth.
This wine is full bodied with medium + acidity and medium + fine grippy tannins that leads to a long dark fruit earthy finish. I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. We are almost to the end of the first week in June and the weekend is upon us. Please enjoy the rest of the week and have a great weekend. Stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

From a great vintage this 2nd wine from the estate has 70% Cab Sauv, 23% Merlot and a few % each of CF and PV. It showed all one might expect from this level in St Julien. Nose is complex with dark fruits, berries and currants, liquorice, bell pepper, herbs and restrained oak notes; well balanced in the mouth, elegant structure, fruits as on the nose, and a satisfying long finish.

Nothing distinctive, but well done, as described by my brother; Louis.
It's versatile and will work well with a variety of food. Oddly enough, Louis detected strawbs and cream. On the palette he detected small blackberries, black cherries and cassis. Tannins are fully resolved. An excellent example for the price.

Purchased on the way home from Paris 2015. Enjoyed with a wonderful steak. Got better the longer decanted.
