layered Shiraz with tons of flavor

expansive feel suggest this full-bodied wine will mature quickly

but is this too solid for its own good

This could be the dark horse between the 2001 and 2009

and nearly endless depth and persistence on the palate are the stuff of legends

Branaire Ducru - 2000 (750ml) lupo2 layered Shiraz with tons ofA beautiful wine from Branaire, the 2000 is close to full maturity, and should offer plenty of pleasure over the next 15 20 years. Its deep ruby purple hue is accompanied by scents of boysenberries, black currants, and spring flowers. This medium to full bodied, pure St. Julien hits the palate with authority, displaying silky tannins as well as wonderful richness, depth, and texture. Robert Parker 94 points
