As Lacoste Borie is made by Francois-Xavier Borie at Grand Puy Lacoste, so this is made by his brother Bruno at Ducru Beaucaillou. Very bright ruby edge, silky, very, very fine and harmonious, brightly defined fruit, great purity and good acidity carrying the length. Very slightly edgy but this makes it interesting.

Violets leap out of the glass, a lovely fragrant nose. There are layers of fruit on the palate cassis tending to dominate but black cherry is very much in evidence, the freshness towards the back being bilberry inspired. The richness so well balanced by some freshness. 2016-28 Rating: 87-91 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (Dec 2013)
(a blend of 50% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot and 10% cabernet franc; pH 3.75; 27% new oak) Bright ruby. Enticing, vibrant, surprisingly forthcoming aromas of cranberry and red cherry syrup. Shows more red fruits on the palate, with strawberry-rhubarb and cranberry cocktail flavors nicely complicated by a hint of citrus. Made in a very open-knit and soft style, but finishes a touch tart and tannic. Still, this should be a remarkably enjoyable, easy-drinking 2009.
