La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou

Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

9.3

Blend of 66% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, floral spice and smoky tobacco notes, aged 12 months in 80% new barrels. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with cacao, tobacco, licorice and cigar spice. Fine chewy tannins, well balanced on long finish, ending with fruit, cedar, tobacco and earthy mineral character. Very nice, will age well but needs time in the bottle to really enjoy! — 12 days ago

8.9

Very dark burgundy with a lot of ruby and dark purple tones.
Earthy, cheese rind and mushroom dominate the nose. Surprising tannins, ultra tight and intense this one needs to sit for another 5 years at least - maybe longer-;regretting opening it now.
I don't have the experience to know what this will become but I know that it will be a greater wine than it is today. — a month ago

9.2

Sourced largely from dedicated parcels and younger vines in a frost-challenged year, it opens with red currant, graphite, and cedar, layered with subtle floral and savory notes. The palate is full bodied and precise, with polished tannins, fresh acidity, and restrained oak.

More akin to Clos du Marquis to Leoville Las Cases in spirit than declassified Grand Vin, this is a well priced Cuvée from Ducru. — 8 days ago
