This is a lovely Ducru that retains much of the silky, elegant personality of a top-class St.-Julien. However, it does not have the concentration and richness of the 1982, 1978, 1970, or 1961. Now fully mature, this medium-weight, firm, yet rich, savory, and well-constituted 1976 has plenty of character and elegance.
Concentrated and balanced, with ripe plum and cedar flavors over firm tannins.
