93 Points

Sunday, September 8, 2019 - Outstanding bottle from this highly variable case. Decanted for 2hrs. Split cork.
Deep red/brown aged appearance. Plenty of smoke and truffle on the nose. Concentrated brulé damson and dark berries. Charred oak, earth, integrated tannins and an elegant balancing acidity without the green capsid element of many earlier noted bottles from this batch. Brooding velvety finish. Outstanding.
From Ducru's pot luck period - till 2025 if you hit the right bottle. Always have a sub at the ready! 93+
