Duluc de Branaire-Ducru 2017 – Saint-Julien

The nose is fruity, fresh and offers a small crunchiness. It reveals notes of crushed redcurrant crunchy wild raspberry and small notes of racy minerality associated with very fine touches of lily, fresh violet as well as hints of grey pepper/Sichuan pepper and a very discreet hint of fresh nutmeg. The mouth is fruity, well-balanced, fresh and offers a good definition, gourmandize, elegance and suavity. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy raspberry, fleshy/juicy wild strawberry and small notes of juicy blackberry associated with fine touches of violet, small red berries associated with fine touches of chocolate, toasted, nutmeg and discreet hints of hazelnut. Good length and a beautiful persistence on notes of tonka bean.
