Le Petit Ducru - Saint Julien 2019 750ML

Overview

Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint-Julien 2019 750ML is a Merlot-led Saint-Julien with dark currant fruit, polished tannins, and a savory, cedar-tinged finish that drinks like a “second-label-plus.”

Hamptons Tasting Notes

Black cherry, cassis, and plum skin, with violet, cocoa, and pencil-lead nuance. Medium-to-full body, fresh acidity, and ripe, powdery tannins that tighten the finish without drying it out.
