{"product_id":"ch-ducru-beaucaillou-2015","title":"Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChâteau Ducru-Beaucaillou owes its name to its \"beautiful pebbles\" (\"beaux Cailloux\", in French) that geologists refer to less romantically as Gunzian gravel. These quartz pebbles were deposited by the ancient Garonne at the beginning of the early Quaternary period, some two million years ago. It suffices to take a walk through the vineyards to make rich lithological finds. Lydian jasper from the Pyrenees, flint, quartz, agatoids... These Gunzian gravels make for soils that are poor in plant nutrients. But it is their very agrological paucity that guarantees the qualitative excellence of the wines. A choice of nature. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points - \u003cspan itemprop=\"author\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"author\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"reviewBody\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Ducru-Beaucaillou rocks up with flamboyant baked black plums, crème de cassis, blueberry compote and chocolate-covered cherries scents plus hints of cinnamon stick, black tea and candied violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with black fruit preserves and spicy accents, with a firm, velvety frame and finishing with great length and perfume. Ideally, I'd give it another year to fan out just a bit more, but it is coming around nicely and is already fantastically delicious!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points -\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine has super-ripe black-currant flavors encased in firm, smoky tannins and hints of wood.
