Deepest crimson. Open and inviting with lightly leafy dark fruit, but the leafiness is a freshness, and not excessive. Pure, cool and dark-fruited. Theres quite a light touch here on the palate, not especially concentrated but the tannins are very fine and suggest a long life nevertheless. (JH)

The 2020 Branaire-Ducru will require more patience than the supple, sensual 2019, but it is another strong effort for this overperforming estate. Wafting from the glass with aromas of crème de cassis, plums, pencil shavings, petals, burning embers and discreet hints of new oak, its medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a concentrated core of vibrant fruit and fine but youthfully firm tannins that assert themselves on the gently chewy finish.
