Branaire-Ducru has consistently been one of the finest 1975s. I have come to the conclusion that it will never resolve all of the tannin but the wine has such a large-scaled muscular rich concentrated personality that the tannin level is acceptable. There is plenty of cedar sweet cassis fruit vanilla and lead pencil notes to this powerful Branaire-Ducru. The wine's deep ruby color displays some amber at the edge. I enjoyed drinking this wine young but it has not budged in its development continuing to display freshness richness and the tell-tale tannin of the vintage. It should continue to evolve and last for another 10-15+ years.

Fully developed, medium bodied with loads of cedar, forest floor, tobacco, cigar wrapper and spicy red fruits. Fully mature, but not as rustic as you would think, given the vintage, this was still holding on to its charm.
