LIKE THAT? TRY ONE OF THESE...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 93 points
One can?t say enough about the efforts Bruno Borie is pouring into this wonderful estate that I have often called the ?Lafite Rothschild of St.-Julien.? An undeniable success, the 2004 Ducru boasts sweet aromas of creme de cassis, spring flowers, pain grille, licorice, and road tar. This pure, medium-bodied wine possesses moderately high tannin, superb concentration, good sweetness, and low acidity. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 25 years. Also tasted: 2004 Croix de Beaucaillou (88 $25.00)

Gorgeous aromas of crushed blackberry and currant. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a long, caressing finish. This is a Ducru with reserve and lots of finesse. Best after 2011. 15,000 cases made. ?JS
