The 2009 vintage of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is perhaps one of the finest releases from this highly regarded St-Julien Second Growth. Composed of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot it is incredibly rich, full-bodied and plush, with compelling layers of black fruits, spices, dried flowers, herbs and crushed minerals. Now only just emerging into its drinking window, this will easily age for another 30 years at least.
The 2009 Ducru-Beaucaillou is a fantastic wine. Here it bursts from the glass, perhaps less Pauillac-like than previous bottles, beautifully defined with a smorgasbord of red and black fruit laced with cedar and tobacco. There is no hedonism here, just wonderful intensity and focus. The palate is fresh on the entry with a fine bead of acidity, very poise yet powerful with a multi-layered finish that just lacquers the mouth. It probably needs another 5-6 years in bottle, but what a wine. Stunning. Tasted at the Ducru Beaucaillou vertical at the château. - Neil Martin
