    The 2021 Le Petit Ducru is composed of 80% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 8% Petit Verdot. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it strolls out with classic scents of cassis and red plums, plus hints of sauteed herbs, tree bark, and graphite. Light to medium-bodied, the palate delivers a good amount of crunchy black and red fruit with chewy tannins and a refreshing finish. pH 3.67. IPT 88.

    The 2021 Le Petit Ducru de Ducru Beaucaillou seems to build on that Pauillac element that I noted from barrel. The nose is finely delineated with a lovely marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, crunchy black fruit and plenty of iodine and brine, exerting a gentle but insistent grip on the saline finish that comes from the top Merlots in the blend.
