While the tannins are firm

Pale salmon pink color with an orange hue

This a very linear and refined red with currant and lemon aromas and flavors

This aromatic precision suggests tremendous finesse on the palate

Red-black violet

Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou, Saint-Julien, France 2016 Carneros While the tannins are firmSuper perfumed, attractive violets with a thread of fresh blueberries, cassis, blackberries and dark plums, delivering a very enticing impression. Beautiful ripeness here. The tannins are perfectly ripe and layers meld into each other, carrying deep, graceful and plush, velvety dark fruit long into the vibrant and seductive, chocolate laced finish. Great potential. 99 Pts James Suckling
