Lot of concern reading prior review experiences, this bottle drinking very well. Nice balance with just enough backbone to make it interesting. It is ready to go now, would not age any longer.

Good level of dark fruit, and length of finish, but goodness still just so much tannin. This needs to rest for some time.
Note: the cork was somewhat dry and did split, but recovered second half successfully.

2000 Château Branaire (Duluc-Ducru)

St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more

11/8/2018 - petenich Likes this wine: 92 points

Interestingly after only about 30 minutes of air we're into a very balanced and approachable wine. I'm thinking this is solidly into the drinking window, decent nose, good mid, with depth and acid to clean up the finish. Still plenty of stuffing for at least 10 years, but not sure what else would develop by waiting longer.
