Château Branaire Ducru 2006

St. Julien, Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, FranceVery fine quality here. Smoky, peppery, leather, tobacco, dried oregano, black cherry, coffee, olive, cassis, barnyard aromas. The wine is concentrated but with balance and finesse and rounder, soft tannins. Big fruit for the vintage with cassis, dill, tobacco, meaty, black olive, smoky, vanilla, cherry flavours and a welcoming girth on the palate.
