4/30/2024 - Motz wrote: 94 pointsAs classic as the modern style allows. Delightful perfume of varieties in place, including purple berries with red berry accents. Fine blending, notably harmonious. Sleek and expansive, appealing textural weight, exceptional range. Structured and balanced, including oak treatment and alcohol. This bottle had a decade of evolution ahead of it. Likely to peak after 2035. Improvement seems possible. 94-95. |

4/29/2024 - ivannikiforovitch Likes this wine: 93 pointsEverything an old Bordeaux should be, deep ruby coloured, tortoise like legs, full bodied, round texture, acidity and tannin perfectly resolved, a hint of dryness, a burst of fruit, a hint of chocolate, and a rewarding finish. 1 person found this helpful, do you?

4/29/2024 - Somm Enchanted Evening wrote: 92 pointsPleasant, but young. Medium tannins and acids, and very fruit forward. Lots of dark fruit, berries, currants, and plums, with a touch of wood. Drink in a year or two. Too soon right now. |

4/26/2024 - liber Likes this wine: 93 points4th of 12, opened 90 minutes then decanted an hour, perfect cork and level, very much in line with and as noted in detail for last bottle in July 18 if now entering plateau of maturity and I agree with Julian Marshall's excellent Jan note below, a traditional elegant style of Ducru which I love and admire helped of course by wonderful balance, very much an attribute of these 01s, still upside, 20+ years in a vintage which will carry on improving much longer than many of the pundits predicted! At least F+ (18)....incidentally, a comparison with the excellent GPL in this vintage is instructive as to why Ducru in 1855 was ranked 2nd and GPL 5th growth! |

4/28/2024 - anthroman wrote: NRAn excellent showing from this bottle today. Gave it around 3 hours of air. We expected this to be somewhat shut down but it showed very expressive cassis, tobacco, earth, and cedar notes. The palate was concentrated and generous while still holding something in reserve: leather, dark fruits, and polished tannins heading into the finish. The whole showed impressive integration for such a young wine and I'm optimistic about its medium- and long-term future. |

4/27/2024 - Aravind Asok wrote: NRPopped and splash decanted. Let sit on the counter for 24 hrs. Deep purple in color. On the nose: cedar, blackberry, a touch of charcoal, cassis. On the palate: fine acidic tang, blackberry, char, spice. Soft finish with fine med tannin. Very good already with lots of air, but probably a lot better in 5-15 years. |

4/27/2024 - Dulcie and Aylwin wrote: NRCurrently retailing around $200 or more, I paid a usurious $16.65 in the wayback. Gosh, I last drank a bottle eleven years ago and I see that my TN then is the same as that which I would write now - which I probably wont as it is largely redundant. An observation though: old wine is not like new wine. A statement more self-evident is probably hard to imagine; but I think for those drinkers without experience of old wines there is a tendency to dismiss them as past it or just vinegar or something equivalently pejorative. This wine is NOT vinegar. The cork did disintegrate upon extraction, though fortunately left no residue in the bottle. The level was at high shoulder with some considerable deposits around the neck. The color is brilliant ruby with a clear rim and not a hint of bricking or yellow. Aroma combining old cigar boxes with floral notes. Quite tart red berry fruit with rewarding length. I found that it improved over some four hours exposure. I kept sipping more before retiring. |
