René Gabriel, WeinWisser: „Sehr dunkle Farbe, Purpur mit violettem Schimmer , tiefste Farbe aller je degustierten Primeur-Branaires. Süsses, recht pflaumiges Bouquet, schön ausladend, feine Edelholznoten. Im Gaumen füllig, recht samtige Textur, rote und blaue Früchte, tolle Konzentration im Inneren, fein körnige Textur, zwar etwas die Finesse nehmend, dafür potenziellen Charakter verleihend. 17/20 Punkten.”

Parker: „Proprietor Patrick Maroteaux continues to ratchet up the quality level at this impeccably run St.-Julien estate. The 2006 is similar to the 1996 Branaire, but with sweeter fruit. A deep ruby/purple hue precedes a perfumed nose of sweet boysenberries, black cherries, minerals, spring flowers, and a hint of pain grille in the background. Fresh, savory, medium to full-bodied flavors coat the palate with beautiful purity, no hard edges, ripe tannin, and intense fruit. This elegant, layered, impressive offering will be at its peak between 2012-2025. 92-94 Punkten.”

Tanzer: „(67% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, 4% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc) Bright ruby with a blue rim. Pure, floral aromas of dark berries, bitter chocolate, licorice, violet and mint. Dense, sweet and fine-grained, with a firm spine of acidity and a peppery nuance framing and enlivening the dark berry and mineral flavors. Quite youthfully tight, sappy and classically dry wine, finishing juicy and bright but not hard, with firm, building tannins. Already hints at the complexity to come. This has an IPT of 74, not much below the 76 of 2005. 90-93 points.”
