Wine Advocate # 128 (Apr 2001) 91 points
A supremely elegant, dense purple-colored effort, the 1998 reveals aromas of cassis, black raspberries, minerals, and currants. Precise, well-delineated, and medium to full-bodied, with magnificent purity and understated elegance, this noble, restrained wine reveals a tannic finish, suggesting 4-5 more years of cellaring is warranted. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025.

Wine Advocate # 128 (Apr 2000) 90-92 points
A dark ruby/purple-colored effort, the 1998 has put on weight and reveals sweeter tannin than it did last spring. This blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot displays a complex, mineral, cassis, and vanillin-scented nose, a combination of power and finesse in its rich, multi-layered flavors, good tannin, and a long, sweet, concentrated finish. It is not a huge, super-concentrated offering, but is stylish and impeccably made. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025.

Wine Advocate # 122 Apr 1999 88-90 points
Sixty-eight percent of Ducru's harvest made it into the grand vin, which is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. An excellent wine, possibly meriting an outstanding score depending on how it develops, Ducru is evolved, but it reveals tell-tale tannic hardness in its finish. Classically proportioned with plenty of plum and cassis fruit intermixed with toasty oak as well as minerals, it possesses good power, medium body, excellent richness, and a concentrated, firm, angular finish. It has been well-made.
