...insanely complex bouquet of sweet red and black fruits, cedary herbs, graphite, tobacco, and forest floor, it’s powerful yet seamless on the palate, with resolved tannins, no hard edges, and a fabulous finish.
...rich bouquet of blackcurrants, licorice, cigar wrapper and loamy soil, it's full-bodied, fleshy and muscular, with a broad attack that segues into a deep core of fruit framed by ripe, powdery tannins and succulent acids.
A gorgeous nose, really quite perfumed and fragrant with jasmine and strawberry aromas. Full and thrilling on the palate, I love the style and sense of life - this has muscles and sinewy tannins, thick almost in terms of texture. So assured, racy, bright and vibrant with high acidity giving the tang. Sour cherries, vanilla, cola, baked pies and salty stones that linger on the finish.
It shows beautiful sweet tobacco, flowers, and currants on the nose. It’s full body, silky with fine tannins. It’s ready and pretty.
This Ducru '82 has always been a beauty. Dark ruby in color, with a slight amber edge. Very fresh and floral, with loads of berry and rose character. Medium-bodied, with a good balance of soft tannins and a caressing finish.
It starts promisingly with quite a mineral-driven bouquet...plenty of black fruit mixed with undergrowth and leather, a touch of chlorophyll too...medium-bodied...
Sweet, liquorice nose and rather attractively pungent on the finish...with such fruit intensity...
