According to Parker, Branaire was as good or better than either in 2000 and 2003 and was equalled by Grand Puy in 2005 but was handily ahead of Lynch
Charlie Parker? Or Parker Posey?
Because they are the only Parkers I have any faith in.

It's a 4th Growth, yet I read more about the other Ducru (Beaucaillou) and 5th Growth producers such as Pontet Canet, Grand Puy Lacoste, and Lynch Bages, and I've had more experience with those. I am considering bringing my last bottle of the 2000 Branaire Ducru to dinner to share with a friend who drinks wine, enjoys it, but is more taken with the study of it. Is it not considered a top producer?

I agree, the 2003 is outstanding! Much better than the 2002 and one of the better wines from that vintage.Patrick Martin wrote:The 2000 and 2003 didn't impress me the few times I've had them, but they may have been too young.

I returned from Paris yesterday, and just read this note which has convinced me to leave my one remaining bottle alone for a few years. Thanks for that, Covert.
