Ch Ducru-Beaucaillo­u 2CC 96 Extraordin­ary blend of finesse and depth from 95% Cabernet. Taffeta texture that enhances the extreme purity of fruit. Hard to imagine a better balanced, more vineyard-expressive wine. 2023-2050 Ch Léoville-Las Cases 2CC 96 With 85% Sauvignon and 9% Franc this is the highest-ever Cab content in the grand vin. Dense at first but full of elegance, power and energy. Seems more Pauillac than St-Julien. Will be great. 2025-2050 Ch Léoville-poyferré 2CC 95 Lovely concentrat­ion already showing excellent florality, purity and density. Robustly elegant in the Poyferré style – ‘juicy and silky’, according to owner Didier Cuvelier. For the long term. 2022-2045
