St. Julien
owc
Bottle (12)

The Cellar Beneath, Part II: . As with the first release, all wines have been stored in a custom-built, temperature-controlled cellar hidden within the collector’s home.

"This wine is more backward than I would have normally expected, but nevertheless, it is very impressive. The 2010 Branaire-Ducru displays an inky bluish purple color and loads of mulberry, raspberry, black currant, graphite and floral notes in its intense aromatics. Medium to full-bodied , with sensational ripeness, purity, texture and length, the tannins are slightly more prominent than I remember from barrel, but they are sweet and ripe (as opposed to astringent and bitter)." (94 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Feb. 2013)

“The 2010 Branaire-Ducru has a lovely mélange of red and black fruit, hints of dried blood and autumn leaves suggesting that this is moving into its secondary phase. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, good body and a fresh marine-tinged finish that is an absolute joy. There is an abiding symmetry about this wine and it is in for the long-haul.” (95 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Feb. 2020)
