Description

A good bottle from 1975. The label is dusty but complete, the level is at Base Of Neck, very creditable for its age..

From Vintage Wine & Port
"Branaire-Ducru has consistently been one of the finest 1975s. I have come to the conclusion that it will never resolve all of the tannin, but the wine has such a large-scaled, muscular, rich, concentrated personality that the tannin level is acceptable. There is plenty of cedar, sweet cassis fruit, vanilla, and lead pencil notes to this powerful Branaire-Ducru. The wine's deep ruby color displays some amber at the edge. I enjoyed drinking this wine young, but it has not budged in its development, continuing to display freshness, richness, and the tell-tale tannin of the vintage." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 1996.

"Beautiful "Margaux-like" floral nose. Nose: iodine and blueberry. Fresh palate with well-structured tannins. Very smooth. Strawberry and cherries. Lovely elegance on the finish. This is not the typical muscular wine: time has smoothed all the edges and made the delectable. A fabulous Branaire that should be snapped up if you see it. Tasted March 2002." Neal Martin, Wine Journal".

Some CellarTracker notes:

7/16/2017 - VERB LIKES THIS WINE: 92 Points
cork pushed in, but wine was intact - just as good as my last bottle - intriguing nose of tea leave, tobacco and leather - but best was a round St.Julien sweetness in the mouth that lingered into a great finish - tannins still in evidence, but do not predominate - remains one of the most enjoyable '75s I have had.

7/8/2017 - JEFF LEVE WROTE: 90 Points
Fully developed, medium bodied with loads of cedar, forest floor, tobacco, cigar wrapper and spicy red fruits. Fully mature, but not as rustic as you would think, given the vintage, this was still holding on to its charm.

6/19/2017 - VERB LIKES THIS WINE: 91 Points
badly crumbled cork, but wine inside was sound - brick red with an orange rim - appealing complex nose of tea leaves and light leather - by itself a light body and tannins slightly predominated over the fruit - but with food (lamb) it developed a beautifully rounded mouth-filling body with a hint of sweetness - in either case, the finish was relatively short - probably has seen better days, but very enjoyable now and one of the better '75s in term of fruit/tannin balance - this bottle was what one should hope for from an excellent 40+ year-old St. Julien!
