Ready for Christmas : Ch. Branaire-Ducru周伯通2014 (AG93/JS93/WE94)
The 2014 Branaire Ducru is soft, polished and super-inviting. Succulent red cherry, plum, lavender, spice and mint give the wine its attractive, open-knit personality, while silky tannins add to an overall impression of sensuality. The 2014 should drink well with minimal cellaring. Today, it is among the most accessible of the Saint-Juliens. By Antonio Galloni @ Vinous, Feb 2017.
This is a slightly shy mid-weight wine that is anything but a flashy one. If you have some patience though it has plenty of subtlety and sophistication. Drink in 2021. By James Suckling, Feb 2017.
