Robert Parker Rating 92-94
A hugely successful effort from this consistent estate, BranaireÂs 2003 boasts a dense purple color as well as a big, sweet bouquet of plums, cassis, briery fruit, and hints of violets and minerals. Medium to full-bodied, with well-integrated tannin, outstanding purity, a textured, plump, nicely layered mouthfeel, and low acidity, this 2003 is somewhat reminiscent of the propertyÂs brilliant 1982. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020.
Wine Spectator Rating 89-91
A very good wine with blackberry and currant aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, with good tannins. Balanced red. Harmonious.
Decanter Rating 4 stars
Very deep ruby, very fine floral nose, violets and elegance on palate, lovely, silky tannins, a beautiful, classy Saint-Julien. 2009-20. |
