Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 1990 is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant red Bordeaux from the Saint-Julien appellation. The 1990 vintage was an excellent, hot year that produced rich and powerful wines. This magnum bottling presents a complex bouquet of blackcurrant, cedar and tobacco, with tertiary notes of leather and forest floor. The palate is full-bodied and still powerful, with a dense, silky texture and a firm structure, showcasing a seamless balance of fruit, tannin and acidity.
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.
