Seamless and powerful. Pencil lead, chewy but smooth delicious and yummy. This is a nice contrast to the Ducru. Both are excellent but stylistically different. — 7 years ago

Drank with the '95 Ducru. Also very nice, but also would benefit from more age. Ducru came across richer and more open. — 8 years ago

Stark contrast to the 95 Ducru. This is massive, dark fruit, tobacco, funk on the nose and body, very grippy tannins with a long long finish. — 9 years ago

Amber tawny color, dark but translucent. Aromatic nose with notes of raspberry, rhubarb, Asian spice, moist earth and a little menthol. Great fruit with structure to match, but slightly short of the emotion of the 82 Ducru sitting next to it. Still, this is a great wine. Love the Arnoux Suchots. UPDATE: with more air (open 5* hours) this blossoms in a bigger way. Huge nose and crazy burg funk. — 6 years ago

house with which I'm not familiar, now a part of Croix de Beaucaillou. At any rate, quite attractively evolved. #saintjulien #Bordeaux — 8 years ago

Dinner at Christophe Coperet's house. He opened some delicious bottles:
Champagne Tarlant - la matinale - 2003
Sauternes - Château Yquem - 1981 (this was ridiculously good)
St Julien - Château Branaire Ducru - 2008
St Julien - Château Talbot - 1998
St Julien - Château Beychevelle - 1988
Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "La Combe d'Orveau" - Domaine Henri Perrot Minot - 1998 (my favorite of the list)
Pouilly Fuisse - Domaine Corsin - 1998. — 8 years ago

Dang - one for Luders! Amazing cab blend! Never had- worth branching out for! I bet $ it was 2005 Ducru. — 10 years ago

Nice restaurant purchase. Served a bit warm. Nice wine. Classic BDX profile from a good year. — 7 years ago

Surprising tannin remains in this thirty year old tightly constructed claret. — 7 years ago

Still fresh and young looking and tasting. Elegant fruit with a a hint of chalk. Tasted much younger that Ducru Beaucaillou from same year. — 8 years ago

Very good - not much alcohol content left - no length - very watery - the Ducru is a better choice from the St Julien region in my opinion — 10 years ago
