On the soft, generous side, this wine from the Ducru-Beaucaillou stable has fresh, true black currant fruits and a lovely juicy character from first sip to the finish.

This is an excellent wine, full of ripe fruit and blackcurrant flavors, showing style and elegance in its balancing tannins. It is typical of this property in already showing signs of developing fast. Give it five years.

Firm and tight, with a layer of minerality over the dark tannins. The black currant and licorice flavors are just beginning to penetrate this tannic shell. The acidity is intense, giving the wine a fresh, almost crisp finish.
