2010 Chateau Branaire-Ducru 4eme Grand Cru Classe Pre-Arrival Offer
Proprietor Patrick Maroteaux has completed a decade of brilliant performances at this chateau across the Medoc's Route de Vin from Beychevelle and a stone's throw from Ducru Beaucaillou, St.-Pierre and Gloria. A fabulous effort, the 2010's notes of raspberry jam, black currants, crushed rocks and spring flowers are followed by a wine of impeccable purity, medium to full-bodied power, sweet tannin and stunning texture and length. With superb richness and beautiful overall equilibrium, it will benefit from 4-5 years of cellaring and keep for 25 or more years.
Drink: 2015 - 2040.
Score: 93-95
Robert Parker Wine Advocate # 194 May 2011
This is very clear and precise, with blackberry and licorice and hints of toasted oak. Full bodied, with super refined tannins and a pretty finish. It's there. This is very classy and elegant. Tight and refined. Polished. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23.5% Merlot. 2.5% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot.$$
Score: 93-94
