3 magnums 2018 Chateau Branaire Ducru

Rated "Exceptional" (96 out of 100 points) by Vinous, one of the most respected wine publications in the world.

"The 2018 Branaire-Ducru is every bit as captivating as it was en primeur. Ripe, silky tannins give the 2018 a striking air of sensuality that only grows as the wine sits in the glass. Succulent red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, mint, spice and gravel inflections all open more over time. Even with all of its natural radiance, Branaire remains a model of grace. It is unquestionably one of the under the radar wines of the year". (Review Date: 03/2021)

James Suckling also rated the wine "97" and noted "perhaps the greatest Branaire-Ducru ever made".
