Tasting Note: |
Wine Spectator (3/31/2007) Score: 88
Lots of fresh berry and blackberry aromas, with vanilla undertones. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and ripe tannins and a long, caressing finish. Tight and structured, building on the palate. Very good for a second wine. From Ducru. Best after 2010. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Huge colour, big extraction producing great density of fruit, impressive for a second wine, not overly elegant. (16 points) |
