Moderately saturated ruby-red. Aromas of redcurrant, cedar and tobacco. At once juicy and soft, with currant and tobacco flavors. Offers a silky texture and lovely volume but not quite the structure or grip of the 2002. But this is lush, captivating claret.
Loads of crushed berries on the nose, with hints of flowers and minerals. Very aromatic. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a long, cappuccino and berry aftertaste. Really refined.
Ducru Beaucaillou<br /> Chateua Ducru Beaucaillou began in the 13th century; it translates to "beautiful stones" because of their exceptional terroir. The fruit is sorted several times, their grand vin only uses the best. Halving quantity since 1982, quality has risen sharply. The wine has charm and austerity; it is the archetypal St Julien.<br /> See more products from Ducru Beaucaillou
