Château Branaire-Ducru 2009 Red (Saint-Julien)
- Cellar Selection
- $89
Very supple wine, with great richness and density. It is all so complete, a pleasure, powerful yet also with sweet opulent fruits layered with dark tannins. For long-term aging.

Château Branaire-Ducru 2000 Red (Saint-Julien)
- $40
Here is a huge ripe and luxurious wine, with great power. The texture is solid, filled with firm tannins, the flavors are black and ripe. Along with the power, though, is much of the elegance and poise that characterizes great Saint-Julien.

Château Branaire-Ducru 2001 Red (Saint-Julien)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $60
This is a marvelously complete wine, with its impressive ripe fruit, shining through the open structure. It is firm, but not too much. Stone black fruits are just perfectly ripe. There is just a core of dryness to compliment the rest of the wine.

Château Branaire-Ducru 2005 Red (Saint-Julien)
- $80
This is opulent, but with restraint. The fruit is rich, black and delicious. Touches of spice and wood are present, lending complexity to the ripe fruits and balanced tannins. Impressive.

Château Branaire-Ducru 2010 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Julien)
- Online Exclusive
93-95 This has a very fresh character, its acidity a tonic of black currants and berries. The tannins are underneath all this delicious freshness.

Château Branaire-Ducru 2005 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Julien)
- Online Exclusive
93-95 Barrel sample. A huge, generous, opulent wine, with cedar aromas, a touch of toast and immense black fruits. And it still keeps a delicacy and elegance: very Saint-Julien .

Château Branaire-Ducru 2008 Red (Saint-Julien)
A wine that appears almost too delicious at this stage. Through the black fruit and sweet tannins, the texture is immediately attractive. However, there is a dense structure behind this open exterior that should see it age well.

Château Branaire-Ducru 2011 Barrel Sample Red (Saint-Julien)
- Online Exclusive
92-94. Barrel sample. This wine is based on tannins, yet it also has weight and a complex fruit structure. Its power lies in the density of its texture.
