Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a Left Bank property situated within the Saint-Julien appellation. The estate and its eponymous Grand Vin were ranked a Second Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Initially reserved, the 1975 Ducru-Beaucaillou becomes livelier and more invigorating with aeration. Marked by a menthol touch, the aroma profile unfolds to reveal red and dark berries, blackcurrant, spice, and tobacco notes. The palate achieves impeccable equilibrium, boasting fine-grained tannins, tautness, and a refreshing quality.

The 1975 Ducru-Beaucaillou absolutely shined when Bruno Borie served a bottle at the estate three years ago. There is a little funk on the nose, but there is plenty of fruit behind it, black cherries and boysenberry, cigar box, sage and peppermint. Aeration actually benefits the aromatics and imparts more precision. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a keen thread of acidity. Whilst it is not amazingly complex, it has plenty of freshness with a saline finish and aftertaste. Well-stored bottles will continue to give pleasure. Tasted at the Ducru Beaucaillou vertical at the château. Neal Martin21st July 2022
