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. — 3 months ago

Took time to shed the perfume of oak, but came together nicely after 30-45 minutes. Brighter and sweeter fruit than the La Croix, with less flavor depth. — 8 years ago
