"
Made largely from Cabernet Sauvignon (68%) grown on the gravelly soil of Jau-Dignac, this wine has a brilliant colour and elegant fruity, spicy aromas." |

1999 Château Laulan Ducos has a soft, complex structure. It is best to drink when young and fruity, within the next two years. |

" Coinciding with the château's newly-designed label, this vintage was obliged to be something special.
It rises to the challenge, with a delicious Cabernet character (67% of the final blend) that comes through beautifully. |
The wine’s attractive, deep, garnet-red colour holds a great deal of promise.
The bouquet follows through wonderfully, a medley of red fruit, candied fruit, prune, and a slight toastiness. |
|
The wine starts out full-bodied, rich, round, and elegant on the palate, going on to display a hint of liquorice and delicious, smooth tannin reflecting very ripe grapes. A great wine that needs four to six years more cellaring. Best served with refined cuisine." |

The rich, impressive structure of this 2000 calls for long ageing. The superb aftertaste confirms what a fine Médoc this is. This wine will be at its best after 5-6 years of ageing. |

This vintage has great ageing potential, although it is already very open.
Best enjoyed in 3 or 4 years. |
