Nice minty nose of red fruit and baking spices. The flavors are still very youthful. Lots of dark fruit, plums, cherries. Tannins still present, but integrated. Very impressive for a 11 year old “second wine”

This is stunning and hardly needs any air at all, which is absurd for a '10. Brightly contrasting fruit and red rose petal, cinnamon, and jam on the nose. Velvety smooth texture with some tobacco, raspberry compote, and a finish that makes you salivate for more. This is the kind of wine I dream of drinking until I die. This is what cabernet was meant to be.

Impressive.
This is impressive for a second wine, but requires more time in the bottle. Notes of coffee, charcoal and cedar in the nose. Palete is muscular and dense. Consistent with the nose. I'm familiar with Ducru, and the past just washed into the present - a super second wine.

Vintage 2000 - this wine impressed me. Just starts to come. Rich and classic, complete in balance. Wow!
