Branon other_regions but as always

but as always

the wine is medium/full bodied

While still very early in its evolution

the 2004 Riserva Bricco Boschis San Giuseppe needs another 5-10 years in bottle before it starts drinking well

I would be inclined to drink the ’04 Corton over the first 10 years of its life (even though it will survive much longer) as I’m not sure that the fruit will ultimately outlast the structure

Branon other_regions but as alwaysThe 2009 Branon has a pure bouquet with black cherries, bilberry and just a touch of boot polish. It feels well defined with nicely integrated oak. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannin, juicy and succulent with a nicely detailed, quite peppery finish with a persistent aftertaste. Based on this performance I might well have under estimated this Pessac Lognan. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin
