Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 2004 is a Second Growth Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine from the St-Julien appellation. The 2004 vintage presents a blend that reflects the estate`s consistent style, with ageing in new oak barrels for a minimum of 18 months. The Borie family, custodians since 1941, focus on maintaining the vineyard`s tradition while implementing modern winemaking techniques. Bertrand Ducru`s legacy remains integral to this wine`s enduring presence.

Vinous
The 2004 Ducru-Beaucaillou is a vintage that I have not tasted for a few years. Now at 17-years of age, it has a delineated, tertiary, tobacco-scented nose where secondary scents are playing the major roles. Cigar humidor, autumn leaves and stewed black tea. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, saline and marine-influence, moderate weight, perhaps missing the complexity that Ducru-Beaucaillou delivers in great vintages, so the finish is a bit conservative and correct. If you like classic Saint-Julien, the 2004 will appeal to you and it should give another 15 years of drinking pleasure. Tasted at the Ducru Beaucaillou vertical at the château.
