Château Ducru Beaucaillou 1996 (5 MAG)

Château Ducru Beaucaillou 1996  

St. Julien, 2ème Cru Classé 

u. 5bn, slightly scuffed and slightly nicked labels

In 2023, an absolute star. A tremendous nose of depth, class and sheer impact, redolent of the great Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage.  Lush and luscious, plush and silky, with great structure, noble texture and myriad fresh black fruit flavours coating the mouth.  Wonderful now and will last for years, with this exceptional balance of all the ingredients - the essence of Ducru.  Serena Sutcliffe, MW
