WA:91-93 Drink:2006-2018The impressive, dense purple-colored 2001 offers up notes of sweet tobacco, soil overtones, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, smoky, toasty oak, and a hint of espresso. A sweet, rich attack, sensational concentration, medium body, ripe tannin, and profound depth suggest a blockbuster 2000 rather than 2001. This is a garage wine from the owners of Haut-Bergey. Branon is made under the guidance of both Jean-Luc Thunevin and Michel Rolland. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018.
