Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a Grand Cru Classé in the St-Julien appellation and one of the iconic historic estates of the Médoc. Savoury and herbal with wonderful dried fruit and perfumed complexity which carries through to the finish. A beautifully elegant `66.

Vinous
The 1966 Ducru-Beaucaillou has a mushroom, briny nose that is too herbal for my liking, lacking the panache of say, the 1966 Latour or 1966 Château Margaux (the latter tasted by chance just a couple of days before this.) The palate is medium-bodied with solid tannins, a little foursquare, serious and lacking a bit of charm. Maybe this was better a couple of decades ago, but I still expect more given the quality of the 1970 or 1961. Tasted at the Ducru Beaucaillou vertical at the château. Neal Martin21st July 2022
