Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, Grand Cru Classé in the St-Julien appellation and one of the iconic historic estates of the Médoc. Concentrated cassis with complexity from mineral and oak. A rare find from the 1990 vintage, ready for drinking.
Vinous
- The 1990 Ducru-Beaucaillou was matured in two-thirds new oak for 12 months. Ever a controversial vintage because of the problems in storage that tainted some of the production (not all), this bottle had a clean nose but one that felt a little one-dimensional, with simple red berry fruit and earthy notes, becoming increasingly herbal with time. The palate has a bitterness on the entry that I find jarring, and it attenuates dramatically towards a sour, short finish. Odd. Tasted at the Ducru Beaucaillou vertical at the château.
