"64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot. La Croix, the second wine of Ducru-Beaucaillou, comes from central holdings in St Julien. Suave violet-clad blackberry fruit, with supple texture and plushly fruit-coated tannins, which exert a fine grip on the finish. As silky as its Jade Jagger label, very good.
