Community Tasting Note

wineforth Likes this wine:

Sunday, October 18, 2020 - Second of three bottles bought in a mixed super second case en primeur from the Wine Society. Improved since the bottle 5 years ago. Lovely violet nose giving way to blackcurrant and plums. Now elegant as opposed to lightish and the tannins are extremely soft, with a stiff backbone and more body than is immediately apparent lurking in the background and just a hint of dark bitterness on the long finish. The last of the great old style Ducru before the more modern approach from 2003. At its peak now (I said that 5 years ago!) and will be lovely for a decade and more depending on your taste. Beautiful.
