Croix de Beaucaillou 2010 is a second wine of the esteemed Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, a Deuxième Cru Classé (Second Growth) estate in the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux.. The estate, owned by the Dourthe family, has a legacy dating back to the 18th century. This 2010 wine presents a complex profile with notes of ripe blackcurrants, graphite and subtle herbal undertones. On the palate, it offers a medium to full-bodied experience, showcasing firm tannins and balanced acidity. This vintage is structured, demonstrating great potential for ageing.

The 2010 Croix de Beaucaillou has fragrant brambly red berry fruit on the nose, plenty of undergrowth/woodland scents coming through, although it does not quite clock into fifth gear. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. Certainly one of the more approachable 2010 Médoc crus, this has a satisfying harmonious, lightly spiced finish. I observed this improving over the course of 10-15 minutes. Drink over the next decade. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal. Neal Martin1st April 2020

Deep garnet colored, the 2010 La Croix de Beaucaillou strides confidently out of the glass with classic cassis, cigar box and pencil lead scents plus nuances of iron ore, cardamom and cinnamon stick. Medium to full-bodied, the mid-palate is slightly lean while the tannins are firm and chewy, finishing with appealing freshness. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Since 2005 it is no longer a second wine but from a plot in the centre of the appellation with less estuarine influence. Very deep crimson. Deep crimson. Very rich and round. Suave and convincing. Lots of life and masses of fruit. €30-35 euros. A new label designed by a British designer will be launched at Annabels, London in May. (JR)
