2018 La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou

So I found this at one of my favorite places in NJ for a great price.

A month ago I brought a 2012 of this to a wine dinner.
It turned out to be the WOTN after it opened.
I know that 2018 Bordeaux is a Great vintage so I grabbed only 2 of the 4 that were there.
The reviews sound great and I saw that Jeff Leve gave it a 93.

Maybe I’ll grab the other 2 as well.

The 12 was pretty Amazing when it opened up.

While I was there I grabbed another bottle of Chateau Larrivet Haut Brion 2010
as well as a Ghost Block Cab Reserve 2017

All at 49.99

Yum!

The 2016 was wonderful and I wish I had bought a few more from Costco when they had them.

What was your Costco selling them at?

$46. I bought 2. I should have bought 6.

A friend said it’s like drinking the main wine without the cost.

2012 wasn’t That great a year in Bordeaux…but the aroma and flavor that emanated from that bottle was Superb!

I think 53.30 including tax is a steal for this wine.
When I got the 12’s 3 or 4 years ago, it was 49.99 and with a discount at TW… less.

The only 2nd wine that I had that was better was 2010 La Dame de Montrose.

Why can’t my Costco get some La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou in?

Is it true that Ducru-Beaucaillou has a seperate vineyard for their 2nd wine Croix?
Anyone?

Jeff Leve probably knows.

Yes.
2nd label just by name imo. It can stand on its own.

What is Cuvée Colbert? Jeff’s site says it’s the same wine, but with a “different” aging process. Anyone know specifics?

I can’t wait to try this 2018.
A 3 hr decant should be adequate.
The 12 was great and Jeff gave it an 88.
The last couple vintages…92’s

2018…a 93

I bought another one so i have 3.

Soon!
