CHATEAU DUCRU-BEAUCAILLOU LA CROIX SAINT-JULIEN

The aroma has small black cherries, blueberry and wilted violets, the last becoming more intense as the initially tight-fisted wine opens in the glass. It is a medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin. There is very well-judged acidity and its texture is harmonious and silky smooth. While the finish, is loaded more in the mouth than on the nose at the moment, but it is a seriously classy “deuxième vin” that just needs a little more persistence on the finish.
