A ripe, generous vintage even in the heart of the reined-in, finessed appellation of St Julien, and this majors on blackberry, blueberry and damson fruit, shot through with creamy smoked caramel, warming spiced liqourice, cloves, star anis, graphite and eucalyptus. Well judged, you'll find plenty of complexity and heart delivered here. Harvest September 25 to October 15. Last year with Virginie Sallette as technical director, Eric Boissenot consultant.Jane Anson31st May 2023
94 The Wine Independent
The 2015 Ducru-Beaucaillou, 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot, is deep garnet in color with a touch of brick. Sauteed herbs, redcurrant jelly, and baked blackcurrant spring from the nose with underlying hints of wet slate, tobacco, and coffee beans. The medium to full-bodied palate offers soft-spoken, savory flavors with a chewy texture and just enough freshness, finishing savory.Lisa Perrotti-Brown9th September 2023
93 Vinous
The 2015 Ducru-Beaucaillou has a more opulent bouquet with kirsch and raspberry scents, touches of vanilla and mint that emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, lovely balance and poise. This has real focus and plenty of tension toward the finish. It is a deftly crafted Saint-Julien, although this does not rise above its peers in this flight. Tasted blind at the 2015 Bordeaux Ten-Year-On tasting at Farr Vintners. Neal Martin3rd June 2025
