2017 La Croix de Ducru-Beaucaillou, St-Julien

Deep fruit and lovely energy with spicy lift. It's pure, fine and long with ripeness but elegance and a herbal touch on the finish.

TASTING NOTES

This is very fresh and minerally with a salty and oyster shell character. Full body, tight and bright. Plenty of currant flavors too.
