The Ducru-Beaucaillou 2012 is a Left Bank Bordeaux from a prestigious Second Growth (Deuxième Cru Classé) estate in Saint-Julien. The nose displays pronounced aromas of black olives and blood orange, gradually revealing hints of lavender. On the palate, it presents medium body with smooth, saturated tannins and a considerable level of acidity, reflecting both intensity and a pastille-like character.

Deep ruby in colour, with a seductive smoky, campfire crackle on the aromatics and plentiful black fruits that are softening to autumnal berries but still so full of expressive liqourice, sage, crayon, eucalyptus and creamy tarte tartin. Balanced, delicious, with supple tannic architecture that is ready to release the fruits. No rush to drink but moving into its drinking window. 100% new oak. Harvest October 3 to 10.
