A deep garnet core with very little ageing on the rim. The nose is quite simple: cedar and a little tobacco. Not much here. But the palate is much better: very good concentration, very cohesive and harmonious with good acidity. This reminds me of the 1970 (though without the finesse.) A charming cedar, earthy mid-palate with the tannins seeming to have just softened.

perfect looking bottle, cork was fully saturated but no seepage wine was ready to go after 15 minutes of air. still a hint of soft tannin. 11.5% abv resulted in a light body. couldn't stand up to the flank steak but enjoyable on its own. tertiary with subtle hints of fruit. very enjoyable but definitely not likely to improve with more age!

Medium carmine garnet, orange brightening, broad ochre rim. Delicately leafy on the nose, presents a rather wilted fruit, leafy nuances, a hint of floral aromas. Jammy on the palate, rather sweet fruit, soft tannins, dark berries on the finish, slightly tobacco-tinged, shows the typical cedary nuances in the finish, a mature wine that has passed its peak but still provides enough pleasure in this aged state.

Classic old school styled claret, driven by its masculine leaning personality and smoky, tobacco, cigar box and cassis nose, this is fully mature. Fans of the wine 1996 forward might have a problem with its old school style, while older, classic wine tasters will have more fun with the wine.

Château Château Ducru Beaucaillou
Château Ducru Beaucaillou
Château Ducru Beaucaillou

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a 75-hectare wine estate located in Saint-Julien-Beychevelle in the Gironde. In the Saint-Julien AOC, it is classified as a second growth in the 1855 classification. The first traces of the estate date back to the 13th century.

The château was owned by the Bergeron family for several centuries until 1720. In 1795, the château came under the control of the Ducru family, after which the estate took its name. Bertrand Ducru then undertook to profoundly modify the château (with the help of architect Paul Abadie) and the wine-making facilities (new cellars). These efforts were rewarded with the attribution of second growth status in the 1855 classification.

In 1866, the château was sold to the family of Nathaniel Johnston (1836-1914), a Bordeaux wine merchant and faience maker, mayor and deputy of Saint-Julien. The 1929 financial crisis forced Nathaniel Johnston to sell the estate to the Desbarats family, who after only twelve years had to hand it over to the Borie family, who still own the château today. The Ducru-Beaucaillou terroir owes its name to the large Günz gravel stones with a thickness of 6 to 8 m. The grape variety is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, with a desire not to use Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc. The vines have an average age of 35 years and are planted at very high density (10,000 vines/ha). Ducru-Beaucaillou also produces a second wine, La Croix de Beaucaillou.
