Score 16/20 · Drink 1988-2000, Jancis Robinson MW, Aug 2024

Fairly pale ruby with a pale rim. Rather haunting aroma. Hint of brett? Quite a bit of tannin and acid, a bit uncomfortably balanced. We have only nine notes on 1980 bordeaux in the database! (JR)

Score 74/100 · Drink 1991, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

Ducru can often be counted on in off vintages, but the 1980 lacks charm and fruit, has good structure, but finishes short and is a bit harsh. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 4/91.
