Château Duluc
St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Julien, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
#AgedWineTuesday
Dark ruby, almost Inky in color with a wide brick rim.
Nose of black and red fruits, tobacco leaf, light oak, earth, forest floor, light mildew, coffee, black tea, pencil lead, black chocolates and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with black plums, cooked cherries, currants, light wood, earth, herbs, light vegetables, tobacco leaf, black pepper, chocolates, vinaigrette and light green vegetables.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 17 year old Bordeaux is still drinking beautifully. Rich, with enough fruits to balance the earth notes.
I did not decant it, and let it open up in the bottle. Drinks nicely right out of the bottle, and much better after 3 hours of airtime.
A delicious second wine. Loved to see the low alcohol level.
I don't see it getting any better from this point, so if you have any, drink up.
I had it blind and called 2006 Left Bank Bordeaux. I'm happy with that call.
A great sipping wine. Well balanced, and good by itself.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.
13% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$80.
