Score 86/100 · Neal Martin, Apr 2024

The 1924 Branaire Ducru has a slightly Bretty, animal fur and iron piping-scented nose. It's aged, but I would not describe this as feeble; it has fine definition. The palate is medium-bodied with vestiges of freshness, slightly tart with a sour cherry, almost citric finish. It feels as if it was not born a concentrated Saint-Julien, but after a century, it's holding in there...just. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the Académie du Vin dinner in Bordeaux.
