A longtime favorite of mine, I decided to pull the cork on a 2002 Branaire Ducru last night. With strip steaks, I popped and poured. Nice, expansive nose on this one. Impressive. Definitely more "classic" in style and not big and flabby (despite its 13% alcohol content). Definitely makes me yearn for the days of 12% Bordeaux, as I tend to like wines with lower alocohol content. Overall, this is drinking pretty well right now. The tannins have dropped back a bit and there is some nice solid Bordeaux fruit there. Another solid offering from the '02 vintage.
