Description
Château Duluc 1990 – Saint-Julien
The Château Duluc 1990, from the Saint-Julien appellation, is a stunning reflection of the elegance and balance that define this celebrated Médoc terroir. The 1990 vintage, widely acclaimed as one of the greatest of the century in Bordeaux, produced wines of exceptional ripeness, depth, and harmony — qualities that this cuvée conveys with remarkable purity.
The wine displays a deep garnet colour with brick highlights, showing its graceful ageing. The nose is complex and refined, offering blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, followed by mature notes of cedar, blond tobacco, forest floor, soft spices, aged leather, and a hint of pencil shavings, a hallmark of mature Left Bank wines.
On the palate, the wine impresses with its silky structure and refined balance. The tannins are fully melted yet still supportive, giving the wine both presence and finesse. Evolved fruit flavours intermingle with subtle oak, spice, and smoky tones. A gentle acidity brings lift and freshness, leading to a long, poised, and elegant finish, perfectly representative of Saint-Julien’s signature style — the ideal harmony between power and grace.
A beautifully matured Saint-Julien, refined and expressive, ideal for lovers of well-aged Bordeaux seeking depth, sophistication, and the timeless charm of a legendary vintage.
