Château Branaire (Duluc-Ducru)
St. Julien- Beychevelle Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Julien, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Really impressive! Spring floral favor and light fruity taste. Full body, multiple layers but well combined

Friday nights are wine nights with my girl @kimansilla where we open a fun bottle of wine and sit and talk about it for hours watching it develop. Our consensus is that this wine lacks the proper balance of acid, tannin, and body to make it a stellar wine. Unfortunately the rain that 2006 saw before and during harvest has taken its toll on this wine. No potential for aging here, so if you have this wine, drink up! #wine #Bordeaux #CalvertWoodley #BranaireDucru

Dark and broody with chocolate, coffee and cherry. Somewhat saline interestingly. Lingering finish. Yes please, I will have another glass.

Feb 11th, 2017With an hour in the decanter this full rich wine tastes of black currants, Dark red fruits, and long finish. Opulent.
