Tasting Notes
One can??t say enough about the efforts Bruno Borie is pouring into this wonderful estate that I have often called the ????Lafite Rothschild of St.-Julien.?? An undeniable success, the 2004 Ducru boasts sweet aromas of creme de cassis, spring flowers, pain grille, licorice, and road tar. This pure, medium-bodied wine possesses moderately high tannin, superb concentration, good sweetness, and low acidity. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 25 years. Also tasted: 2004 Croix de Beaucaillou (88; $25.00)(Wine Advocate # 171 Jun 2007)
