Description

Château Ducru Beaucaillou 1996  

St. Julien, 2ème Cru Classé 

Levels bn or into the neck 


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
