Den Chateau Branaire Ducru 2018 Saint Julien beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt: The 2018 Branaire-Ducru has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and an upfront, expressive nose of baked black plums, boysenberries and Morello cherries with an undercurrent of dried mint, spice box and underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, the palate packs a very pleasant fruit wallop, featuring juicy black fruits and a firm, grainy frame, finishing long with lovely purity.
Den Chateau Branaire Ducru 2018 Saint Julien beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt: Very attractive aromas of currants, tile and sandalwood with black and red currants. It’s full-bodied with a tight, dense center-palate that remains closed in and tight. Yet there is underlying seriousness and length to this. Perhaps the greatest Branaire-Ducru ever made. Try after 2026.
Den Chateau Branaire Ducru 2018 Saint Julien beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt: A beautiful Saint-Julien, the 2018 Château Branaire-Ducru reveals a deep purple color as well as ample, earthy cassis and blackberry fruits intermixed with sous bois, earth, lead pencil, and cedar. With that classic Saint-Julien pure fruit, sumptuous aromas and flavors, sweet yet present tannins, and a solid spine of acidity, it's going to need 5-7 years to hit maturity yet should keep for 20-25 years or more. I don't think it's going to match the blockbuster 2009 (it's more in the pretty, elegant style of the 2016), but it's a gorgeous, elegant wine you will love to have in the cellar.
Den Chateau Branaire Ducru 2018 Saint Julien beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt: Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Schwarze Beeren, etwas Marzipan und Nougat, frische Kirschen, dezenter Edelholztouch. Komplex, dunkles Waldbeerkonfit, feine Tannine, extraktsüß im Abgang, ein zarter schokoladiger Ton im Nachhall, zeigt gute Länge, wirkt leichtfüßig und zugänglich. (2020–2040)

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Branaire Ducru 2018 Saint Julien wie folgt:This is a fantastic Brainaire with deep and dark fruit. such as blackberries and blackcurrants. Lots of raspberries. too. Full-bodied with firm and creamy tannins and a super long finish. We will see if it’s better than 2016. but on its way.
Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Branaire Ducru 2018 Saint Julien wie folgt:The deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Branaire-Ducru begins just a tad reduced with broody tar. rubber and fried herbs scents giving way to a fragrant core of warm cassis. blackberry pie and blueberry coulis with touches of smoked meats and tobacco. Full-bodied. firm and rugged in the mouth with brawny. muscular fruit and a sturdy frame of grainy tannins. it finishes long and savory.
Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Branaire Ducru 2018 Saint Julien wie folgt:The 2018 Branaire-Ducru is fabulous. Bright. lifted and impeccably precise. the 2018 is one of the best recent Branaires I can remember tasting. The 2018 is distinguished by its vertical lift. striking aromatic intensity and exceptional balance. Lavender. rose petal. gravel. mint and sweet red/purplish berry fruit are all given an extra kick of textural richness. More than anything else. I was blown away by the wine's density and precision. The 2018 is dazzling. There's not much else to say. Well. except the obvious question. which is why is Branaire not at this level every year? The 2018 is 58% Cabernet Sauvignon. 33% Merlot. 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc. Tasted three times.
James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Branaire Ducru 2018 Saint Julien wie folgt:This is well-packed. with blueberry. açaí and blackberry fruit flavors and licorice snap and fruitcake notes. Long and refined despite the copious fruit. showing polish and poise through the finish.
