Heiner Lobenberg über:
Chateau Branaire Ducru 4eme Cru 2010

95
/100

Lobenberg: Charmante Nase nach vornehmlich schwarzer Kirsche mit feiner Milchschokolade, Kakao und Cappuccino. Sehr schön, sehr charmant. Sanft, Spaß machend und dennoch rassig. Sanfter, charmanter Mund mit guter Rasse, rote und schwarze Frucht gleichmäßig verteilt. Auch der Mund macht ähnlich viel Freude wie die Nase. Es ist kein ganz großer Wein und gehört nicht zu den Top Five der Appellation, ist aber sehr gelungen und archetypisch schön. 95/100

Decanter über: Chateau Branaire Ducru 4eme Cru

-- Decanter: Ripe fruit, pink flowers and cinnamon spice nuances on the nose. Round and bright, chewy, chunky, but restrained too, so you get the structure and the concentration but all well handled. Mouthfilling but gently, the plush tannins offset by a cool freshness and lovely salinity. Less hot or dry spice here, more minty freshness which is so appealing. Really delicious, you get power, layers and roundness but it's still light and elegant. A great combination of density and precision. Give this a good airing if drinking soon. 95/100

Parker über: Chateau Branaire Ducru 4eme Cru

-- Parker: This wine is more backward than I would have normally expected, but nevertheless, it is very impressive. The 2010 Branaire-Ducru displays an inky bluish purple color and loads of mulberry, raspberry, black currant, graphite and floral notes in its intense aromatics. Medium to full-bodied , with sensational ripeness, purity, texture and length, the tannins are slightly more prominent than I remember from barrel, but they are sweet and ripe (as opposed to astringent and bitter). This beautiful wine needs 4-6 years of cellaring and should keep 25-30 years. 94/100

Suckling über: Chateau Branaire Ducru 4eme Cru

-- Suckling: A layered young red with lots of black olives and berries on the nose. Full body, with velvety and chewy tannins. It all comes together at the end with a lovely sweet fruit. Try after 2017. 94/100

Wine Spectator über: Chateau Branaire Ducru 4eme Cru

-- Wine Spectator: Very polished and stylish, with a velvety feel to the layers of crushed plum, currant and blackberry, while bittersweet cocoa and black licorice glide in on the gorgeous, black tea-infused finish. Features a lovely allure rather than raw power, making this possibly the prettiest St.-Julien of the vintage. There's plenty in the tank for cellaring as well. 94/100
