* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

90-92 The tannins are so sweet with this wine, that they only just avoid tipping over into Napa Cabernet. But the structure saves the wine and propels it into classic, powerful Saint-Julien.

Juicy, ripe wine, perfumed with sweet fruit. Black berries and bitter chocolate mix with sweet plums and final, lively acidity.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Chocolate, coffee and sweet plum notes give this wine great richness. It has wood that needs time to integrate, although the main character is beautiful, velvet-textured, ripe fruit and plenty of sweet tannins.

A structured wine, with generous ripe and rich fruits, spice and tannins. It has elegance, but also good concentrated bitter chocolate, black berry juice and final refreshing acidity.

A very powered wine, pushing forward with solid, but always fresh structure and fruit. The wine bursts with ripe jammy fruits, but is also firmly tannic. It combines sweet weight with final extreme, exuberant freshness.

This is a solid, powerful wine packed with tannins and heavy black fruits. As so often, Ducru is taking its time, and this wine is still knitting itself together. But in future years, watch for the generosity, the richness as well as the finesse and freshness. Imported by Diageo Chateau & Estates.

93-95 Barrel sample. This is very rich, very ripe, maybe even too much, but the fruit is certainly inviting. The tannin is lost in the welter of ripe fruits, that give a jammy, concentrated character. Only at the end does a chewy aspect emerge.

94-96 Barrel sample. Huge blackcurrant fruits dominate a wine that is powerful and showing very ripe. There are flavors of smoky, balanced tannins, bitter cherries, black figs. As all the great wines in 2005, it finishes with a delicious lift of acidity.

Impressively dense, dark flavored wine, very rich and quite extracted. But it still keeps the elegance and some of the freshness of 2004, and there is plenty of blackberry flavor to push the wine along. Heavier than many 2004s, it still shows that great acidity.

95-97 Barrel sample. Big and powerful, structured, with bitter chocolate and blackberry flavors. The wine is dense, the fruit enormous. But it does manage to keep freshness.
