One of the finest Ducru Beaucaillou in living memory from the "modern classic" vintage of 2010. A balanced St Julien which matches ripe, perfumed fruit with a lively acidity & well structured tannins.
96 Vinous
The 2010 Ducru-Beaucaillou, picked 29 September to 14 October, was matured in 100% new oak for 18 months. This is more backward, sultry compared to the 2009, but there is a payload of black fruit laced with violet and cedar, a very faint ash scent emerging with time. The palate is full-bodied with powerful black fruit, a lovely granular texture and a killer line of acidity. There is a certainly headiness on the finish, atypically more so than the 2009, although it delivers extraordinary persistence. It needs another 10 years before it even thinks about entering its drinking window. Tasted at the Ducru Beaucaillou vertical at the château.

Lighter rim than most. Aromatic and round. Not the most ambitious St-Julien but already an attractive, well-balanced drink – which is a bit odd in this vintage! Easy peasy. This bottle seemed to lack a little bit of drive. (JR)
