CHATEAU DUCRU BEAUCAILLOU 2013 |

Château Ducru Beaucaillou 2013 St. Julien, 2ème Cru ClasséLess than a third made it into the grand vin. 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot. 100% new wood. Once swirled around in the glass, this gave out a great perfume, very St.Julien and full of violets. Black fruit and 'inky', there is volume here and excellent balance between all the elements. Opens out in the traditional peacock tail and bathes the palate in freshness.
