2011 Ch. Branaire Ducru

Grape : 70% Cabernet Sauvignon , 22% Merlot , 5% Cabernet Franc , 3% Petit Verdot

Rating :  RP 91-93

Tasting Note : A top-notch effort from this estate, the 2011 exhibits an exotic perfume of lead pencil shavings, white chocolate, raspberry jam and red as well as black currants. Loads of fruit, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel and velvety tannin suggest this beauty will drink well for 15+ years. It is one of the stars of the appellation in this vintage.
