`Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 1985 is a mature Second Growth Bordeaux from the appellation of Saint-Julien. Ducru-Beaucaillou is considered by many Bordeaux enthusiasts to be the leading property of the appellation - a so-called `Super Second`. The Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wines of the estate are archetypes of Saint-Julien Bordeaux. deep, powerful, ripe, and long-lived. For optimum enjoyment, these wines require a minimum of 10 to 15 years of maturation in bottle before they are drunk. "A wine of extraordinary charm and elegance, the dark garnet-coloured 1985 Ducru-Beaucaillou has a floral, cedary nose intermixed with red and black currants as well as flowers. The wine is fully mature and soft, with beautiful concentration and purity. It is not a blockbuster, and certainly not nearly as powerful and massive as the 1986, but it is certainly much more seductive. This wine should continue to drink well for at least another 10-15 years." Robert Parker, 2003
