Today in the glass, since a long time again a '94 Bordeaux. The vintage's not really enjoys a good reputation. Bulky, angular, Gerbstofflastig and the risk of some day to dry out. All that we presented today raises much hope.
Ch Branaire 1994 (St. Julien):
The color is amazing, deep burgundy, still very youthful, almost black in the core.
The nose still somewhat restrained but deeply enjoyable, shows notes of black berries (elderberry), and red berries, this resonates with smoke (like a Talisker Single Malt), black tea, dark chocolate and Lakrizze, some glucose. On the palate, meaty kick, great, red berry fruit, grapes again sugary sweetness and slightly peaty aroma extract, the whole accompanied by strong, angular tannins and crisp acidity. In the finish of medium length, maybe a little mortified.
An unexpectedly beautiful drinking pleasure. The wine is just starting his day. It can be Angegrunken (1-2h decanting pay), but should ideally remain are about 5-8 years. 17 + vvpunkte (90) - 2015-2022 +
