Description

WS95 “A monster in its infancy. Almost black in color, with intense cassis, herb and mint aromas and superrich, dense cassis and licorice flavors. May last forever.–Ducru-Beaucaillou vertical.” TM for WS 1992
1986 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou Second Growth, Deuxieme Grand Cru Classe, Saint-Julien
RP94 “Medium brick in color with a touch of brown, the 1986 Ducru-Beaucaillou reveals growing notes of dried mulberries, kirsch and raisin cake with nuances of celery salt, dried bay leaves, truffles and charcuterie plus hints of old leather sofa and fallen leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has quite a powerful structure with firm, chewy tannins and bold freshness supporting the muscular, dried berries flavors, finishing long with a dried mint kick.” LPB for WA Aug 2020
