41. La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou, St‑Julien
“Fantastic aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, licorice and walnuts. So St.-Julien. Full-bodied with a solid core of fruit and chewy tannins that are really long and serious. Like the 1995 Ducru! One for the cellar. Needs at least until after 2028.” 96 pts, James Suckling 389458 $125 42. La Dame de Montrose, St-Estèphe “Juicy and pleasantly chewy with milk chocolate, walnut and currant aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, creamy and flavorful. Second wine of Montrose. Drink after 2024.” 93 pts, James Suckling 389484 $100 43. Château de la Dauphine, Fronsac “The 2019 La Dauphine is a total knock-out. Rich, heady and explosive, La Dauphine possesses terrific energy and tons of volume. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, tobacco, spice, new leather and chocolate all build in the glass. The 2019 is drop-dead gorgeous. Don't miss it. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2039.” 93 pts, Vinous 390746 $55
