CRITIC REVIEWS
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
The 2009 Branaire-Ducru has a medium to deep garnet color and reveals compelling notions of warm cassis, licorice, baked plums and hoisin with hints of sautéed herbs and pencil lead. Youthful and medium to full-bodied, it has a generous core of black fruits with a firm and grainy structure and bags of freshness, finishing long with great purity.

Rich, powerful, oaky nose, with brooding black cherry and blackberry fruit, already showing elegance and fragrance. Highly concentrated, chocolatey and spicy, with superb structure and depth. Formidable.
