Information on the vintage 1983 red Bordeaux: I usually link in my mind the 1983 and 1981 vintages. They certainly have quite a bit in common, in style and weight for example. Both are, or at least were, considered more characteristic of Bordeaux than th winedly different and somehow "un-English" 1982 claret, by which I mean the sort of claret which we liked to drink.

Tom Cannavan (01-1998) Rather thin, light colour compared to the Poujeaux. Slightly dank note on the nose, but some nice fruit too. Maybe just starting to fade, and a cedary, woody component dominant. It has fine, sandy tannins and a decent finish, though a slightly inky note suggests it needs drinking up.

Château Branaire Ducru

Château Branaire Ducru is a fourth growth (1855 Official Bordeaux Wine Classification) from the Saint-Julien appellation in the Médoc. The vineyard covers nearly 60 hectares. Château Branaire-Ducru is now one of the jewels of Saint Julien. It is highly sought after for its very pure red fruit. Its typical composition, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, opens with vibrant aromas of raspberry and blackberry, before developing complexity on the palate with delicate nuances of mineral, pencil lead, smoke and spring flowers... The Château also produces a second wine: Duluc de Branaire Ducru.

The best vintages of Château Branaire Ducru are 1975, 1982 grand cru wines, 1989, the 1995 vintage and the 1996 vintage. The wines from 2000, 2001, 2003 vintage and 2005 are also exceptional. Finally, the grand crus from 2009, 2010 vintage and the 2015 vintage are great years.
