Description
The 1999 Branaire is from an under-rated estate. This is a beautifully perfumed effort revealing scents of graphite, lead pencil shavings, blueberries, raspberries, and black currants. The wine is rich, layered, medium-bodied, pure, and elegant. It is a complex St.-Julien with good flavor depth, soft tannin, and unobtrusive acidity. Drink it now.

Tasting note
1999年的周伯通展現了聖朱利安釀酒的藝術。酒體呈現出中等的紅寶石色澤，散發著成熟黑櫻桃的香氣和濃郁的巧克力風味。口感上，良好的酸度提升了水果的層次，而細膩的雪松橡木香氣增添了複雜性。這款中等酒體的葡萄酒擁有平滑的結構和細膩的單寧，酒精度平衡，餘韻悠長。它是「家族簽名」風格的經典範例，由一代又一代充滿熱情的釀酒師耐心打造，他們尊重自己的傳承和風土。
The 1999 Chateau Branaire-Ducru is a testament to the art of winemaking in Saint-Julien. With a medium ruby-red hue, this wine exudes a bouquet of ripe black cherries and a rich, chocolatey essence. The palate is graced with good acidity that elevates the fruit profile, while fine cedary oak nuances add complexity. This mid-weight wine boasts a smooth structure with fine tannins, balanced alcohol, and a lasting finish. It is a classic example of the 'House Signature' style, patiently crafted by generations of passionate winegrowers who respect their legacy and the terroir.
