A wonderfully elegant Second Growth, Ducru-Beaucaillou is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot. Owning around 50 hectares of vines in St-Julien, the Chateau make wines which are recognisable as classic Bordeaux. As a result, they reward bottle ageing & a minimum of 5 to 10 years in the cellar before opening.
86 Vinous
The 1986 Ducru-Beaucaillou has been variable over the years due to the roof taint. This one? Well, it is not offensive, but it is rather innocuous, anonymous for such a great Left Bank vintage, lacking delineation and intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins, simple but balanced with a slightly tart finish. I would happily drink it, but considering the stature of both château and vintage, it ought to have been miles better. Tasted at the Ducru Beaucaillou vertical at the château.
