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. — 5 months ago
This is showing very well. Very 15, sunshine, gorgeous earthy ledy funk. Truffle developing. Just gorgeous nose. Mint. The mint is insane. Just ridiculous. Palate is full and rich, with opulent fruit and sweet, elegant tannins that pump fruit on the long finish. Very elegant and detailed. A tiny bit of heat but let’s see what air does. Heat gone on day 2. Mouth filling and gorgeous. So supple and classy. — a month ago
Almost effervescent with acidity, bright, with tart cherries, the funk and slight brine of olives, and a pleasant mid-mouth weight. — 2 months ago
One of the better 2nd’s I’ve had. Slightly fruit forward in a drink now style. Soft tannins and good acidity for that easy drinking brightness. — 3 months ago
