Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, Grand Cru Classé in the St-Julien appellation and one of the iconic historic estates of the Médoc. The 1989 vintage was reviewed by Robert Parker`s Wine Advocate as follows, `Pale to medium brick colored, the 1989 Ducru-Beaucaillou sashays out of the glass with pretty notes of dried flowers, fallen leaves and dusty soil over a core of warm figs, dried cherries, prunes and spice cake plus wafts of unsmoked cigars and powdered cinnamon. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is still seductively rich with a lively line of soft, silt-like tannins, finishing long and wonderfully savory.`

The 1989 Ducru-Beaucaillou has been a more consistent performer compared to the 1990 over the years. It has an open, leafy bouquet with forest floor, morels, truffle and smoke, not complex and with brettanomyces becoming evident. The palate is medium-bodied with sour cherry and quite dry tannins. There is decent body here, although there is a little hardness on the finish. It’s a Ducru-Beaucaillou that shines better at the dinner table than at a vertical tasting like this. Tasted at the Ducru Beaucaillou vertical at the château. Neal Martin21st July 2022
