2003 Ch. Branaire-Ducru

This deep ruby dry wine gives vegetal and black fruit flavour on nose with smoke. It has medium body acidity, alcohol and tannin. On palate, the flavour remains with black fruit and ripe plum with licorice. The after taste is good and lasts for a few second. Nothing impressed nor disappointed. Is the wine sleeping?  (89) (Tasted on 27 January 2009, reposted)
