Chateau Branaire-Ducru, Saint-Julien, France 2016 Valravn supple and layered feel onThe core of this red is loaded with pure plum, blueberry and black currant fruit flavors. The polished structure is integrated, with alluring ganache, anise and sweet tobacco notes throughout, all in a polished and balanced frame. A very classy red that isn't shy about its power but pushes its purity to the fore. 96 Pts Wine Spectator
