Popped and poured. Bouquet was a tad unyielding at first but revealed hints of tobacco, cedar and dark fruit. Medium bodied with good acidity and balance. A delicious wine with a solid finish. At a lovely point in it's maturity but I do not believe it has a few rather than many years ahead of it.

Nothing much has changed over the past year. This is still exceptionally balanced and a pleasure to drink. No need to wait but it’ll last another 10+ easily.

From mag and decanted an hour. Truth be told not sure it needed a decant. These 99s are a crowd pleaser. Still great fruit and not much tannins. Never met a Ducru I didn’t like!

Fabulous wine. This bottle had obviously been kept very well. It took about 3 hours to open up.

Drinking beautifully. No need to decant. 15mins or so in glass will do it.
