“Such a beautiful red with currants, blackberries and some walnut and stone undertones. Its medium-bodied with a creamy texture and a long finish. Hints of dried citrus. Drinkable now, but better in a year or two.”

“The 2019 Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou is plush, creamy and open-knit, all of which give it considerable immediacy, not to mention tons of charm. Succulent dark cherry, plum, mocha and licorice lend nuance in this racy, Merlot-based blend. The Petit Ducru is a new wine meant to be the third selection from the chteau.”

“Notes of blackberries, plums, pencil shavings and violets introduce the 2019 Le Petit Ducru, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and sensual wine that’s lively and concentrated, its ample core of fruit largely concealing an abundance of ripe, powdery tannin. It’s a Merlot-based blend that includes declassified lots of La Croix and Ducru-Beaucaillou itself.”
