An expressive nose, a sophisticated combination of pure black and red fruits. The palate is wonderfully smooth with powerful intensity, maintaining its fineness and elegance—a beautiful acidity, propelling the wine on a long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlend: 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e94+ Points - Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis richly perfumed wine has bold tannins and dense black fruits. A fine line of juicy acidity cuts through all the richness to lend freshness against all the concentration. This is for long-term aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e94+ Points - Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeautiful blue fruits, tobacco, damp earth, and floral notes emerge from the 2019 Château Branaire-Ducru. It's medium to full-bodied, flawlessly balanced, has silky tannins, and perfectly shows the vintage's quality. A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, will benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and cruise for two decades or more. It reminds me of the 2009.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e95 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eObvious fruit character of blackcurrants, orange peel and spices. Some walnut, too. It's full-bodied with integrated, polished tannins and shows finesse and focus. I love the focused fruit at the end of this. Strength with finesse. Give it four to five years of bottle age. Try after 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e95 points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 Branaire-Ducru unwinds in the glass with aromas of raspberries, blackcurrants, sweet soil tones and hints of cigar wrapper, rose petals and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's youthfully tightly wound, with terrific concentration, tangy acids, powdery tannins and a long, saline finish. While this is a little reserved out of the gates, its energy and classical proportions will richly reward bottle age. Best after 2029.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300464 - Nobilis Wine Importers Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48347415740628,"sku":"708974","price":108.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7645\/6404\/files\/8312948-Chateau-Branaire-Ducru.jpg?v=1784767780","url":"https:\/\/borderlinebottles.ca\/products\/chateau-branaire-ducru-2019","provider":"Borderline Bottles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
