"94 Points - Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate
Tasted at the chateau his is rapidly becoming one of the go-to Deuxieme Vins. The 2009 has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, cedar, a touch of cassis and wild mint with very fine delineation, much more composed than during its primeur showing. The palate is very well made with silky smooth tannins, a fine thread of acidity and a foursquare, tensile finish. Very tight, quite Pauillac-like similar to the Lalande-Borie. Tasted November 2011."
75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot. Not the 2nd wine this is from a designated parcel of vines aka Forts de Latour and Clos du Marquis and should no longer be regarded as a 2nd label of Ducru Beaucailou. This has a great nose, and a lovely ripe supple palate. Elegant St Julien. Very good. Very concentrated. (AB/SM Apr 2010)
