Classy, and classic, elegant, and refined, I love the purity in the red fruits here in nose, and on the palate. Produced from the highest percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the history of the estate, with just a bit of effort you find its aromatic wealth displaying cherries, blackberries, tobacco leaf, flowers, mint, espresso. and spices. The palate is vibrant, regal, slightly firm, crisp, and energetic. The finish delivers its red berries with their spicy edge, and delicate sprig of mint easily. The wine blends 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Merlot. Drink from 2027-2060.

(96-98 vvPunkte) 100% Neuholz. 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot. Die Nase lässt einem gleich die Haare aufstellen, superfein, ein Bilderbuch-Cabernet, pur und rein, mit floralen Noten, Gräsern, ein Hauch von Estragon, mineralisch, tiefgründig. Im Gaumen fast scheu im Auftakt, dann explodiert eine Frucht, sensationell wie sich der Wein aufbaut, top strukturiert, mit markanten, feinkörnigen Tanninen und einer Präzision, die beeindruckt, zieht durch, wird im hinteren Gaumen immer schlanker und taucht im Abgang in ein kühles, dunkles, fruchtiges Aromenmeer. Ausgezeichnet. 2030-2055+ (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Château Ducru-Beaucaillou) vvWine.ch

Cigar box, tobacco leaf, wet earth, blackberry, flowers, and black currants fill the nose. On the palate, the wine is fresh, polished, soft, and energetic, with a spice, and leafy-tinted finish that leaves you with dark cherries and currants on the backend. There is length, purity, lift, and softness in the finish. This is one of the potential candidates for wine of the vintage. Classic (In a modern way) in style, the wine is a blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot. This is the highest percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the history of the estate. 12.5% ABV, 3.88 pH, The yields were a scant 25 hectoliters per hectare. Harvest took place September 28 - October 11. Drink from 2026-2055. 95-97

Thinner and less concentrated than usual, a very nice bottle to drink while waiting for the monsters (2018,19,20)
