Very impressed with this second wine from Ducru. As I recall, 14 was a lousy vintage in Bordeaux. Soft, sweet and round with moderate tannins. Lovely length on the mid-palate. Love it…

Scents of violets and plum. Hint of smoke, blackberry and spice. Sleek and lithe. Going to be amazing. Oui oui!

This is the real deal. Candy notes with plumb cashews and a nice bacon smoke. Tantalizing cork that won't let you drink it and a nice odor of yesterday.

Having a BIG porterhouse steak and drinking some wine. All 3 of my seconds this weekend have been so different and I have enjoyed each and every one of them. Thanks to my buddy @Todd Abrams for picking these out for me.

Rich buttery aroma with dried plum, roasted red pepper, burnt wood. the mouthfeel is full, rich, broad, completely satisfying. Smooth and round, soft tannins. Beautiful.
