Vinum bewertete (07/2023) Château Branaire Ducru 2020 wie folgt: “Zeigt besondere Finesse schon in der Nase, mit delikaten Beerennoten; glasklarer Auftakt, besonders elegante Entwicklung, schlank, aber mit Spannkraft, Tannin mit Schliff, exquisite Länge; grosser Wein, der es nicht nötig hat, mit Muskeln zu spielen.” – 18/20
Jeff Leve bewertete (03/2023) Château Branaire Ducru 2020 wie folgt: “Quite perfumed, the complex nose offers cigar box, tobacco, spearmint, wet earth, mocha, spice, black currants and dark cherry aromas to get things going. Medium/full-bodied with a silky, fresh, refined character to its layers of ripe, sweet, mildly-spiced, red pit fruits on the palate, the finish is complex, as well as refined and currently discreet. Clearly, this is one of the top vintages from Branaire Ducru that fans of the estate should definitely have in their cellar” – 95 Punkte
James Suckling bewertete (05/2023) Château Branaire Ducru 2020 wie folgt: “Plenty of blackberry, blueberry, lead pencil and violet aromas here that follow through to a full body, with ultra-fine tannins that run the length of the wine. So integrated and polished.Changes a lot in the glass. Thoughtful young red. ” – 96 Punkte
Antonio Galloni bewertete (02/2023) Château Branaire Ducru 2020 wie folgt: “The 2020 Branaire-Ducru was so alluring en primeur, but is very shy today. That said, some of that youthful exuberance has given way to the characteristic Brainaire finesse. Dark red cherry, spice, grilled herbs, menthol and licorice emerge, but only with great reluctance. Sweet floral and spice notes lift the finish nicely. The 2020 is going to need the better part of a decade to come around” – 95 Punkte
Parker’s WA (03/2023) Château Branaire Ducru 2020 wie folgt: “The 2020 Branaire-Ducru will require more patience than the supple, sensual 2019, but it is another strong effort for this overperforming estate. Wafting from the glass with aromas of crème de cassis, plums, pencil shavings, petals, burning embers and discreet hints of new oak, it’s medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a concentrated core of vibrant fruit and fine but youthfully firm tannins that assert themselves on the gently chewy finish..” – 94 Punkte
