Community Tasting Note

Monday, October 1, 2012 - It's 50/50 with these Ducru's from this era given issues in their cellars but this was a good, clean bottle. Very much an old-school Bordeaux with a slightly rustic character but the charm and elegance of Ducru can be found lurking under the strong tannins that are finally starting to ameliorate a bit. This wine has depth in the middle and possesses good intensity with flavors of tobacco, spices and charred earth. The acidity is high but overall the wine is balanced and delivers an excellent aged Bordeaux experience. It's just beginning to drink well and good bottles should last indefinitely.
