Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 2th Grand Cru Classe St Julien 2015 75cl

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou juured ulatuvad juba 13. sajandi algusesse, olles sellega üks vanimaid veinimõisasid Saint Julien piirkonnas. Viinapuudest 70% on Cabernet Sauvignon all ja 30% on Merlot all, viinapuude keskmiseks vanuseks on 38 aastat. 2009. aasta veini hindas Rober Parker 100 punkti vääriliseks, mis on ehe tõestus, et sealt veinimõisast tulevad ainult suurepärased veinid.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – 97 Points
Composed of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Ducru-Beaucaillou is provocatively and profoundly scented of chocolate-covered cherries, fresh black currants, crushed blueberries and licorice with touches of cigar box, roses and violets plus hints of black pepper and tapenade. Medium to full-bodied, rich and sultry with tons of seductive layers and firm, wonderfully velvety tannins, it has a very long, multilayered finish.

Wine Enthusiast – 97 Points – Cellar Selection
With its 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine has super-ripe black-currant flavors encased in firm, smoky tannins and hints of wood. Showing the opulence of the vintage and the style of Saint-Julien, it will age for many years. The wine will certainly not be ready before 2026.

James Suckling – 97 Points
Aromas of oyster shell, iron and currants. Hints of iodine. Full-bodied, very tight and focused. Love the finish of sandalwood, cinnamon, violets and lavender. Wonderful tannin texture. Linear and driven. Drink in 2022.
