Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1990

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is an iconic Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé renowned for its power, elegance, and exceptional aging potential. Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, cedar, graphite, cigar box, and fine spice lead to a concentrated palate with velvety tannins and a remarkably long finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, venison, duck breast, truffle dishes, or aged hard cheeses for an unforgettable Bordeaux experience.

Harvest took place this year from 23rd September to 8th October. The wine was aged for around 12 months in two-thirds new oak. Medium brick-brown in color, the 1990 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is quite evolved, offering notions of incense, tree bark, tilled soil and tobacco with nuances of preserved plums, kirsch, tapenade and leather. Medium- to full-bodied, the palate still possesses a good amount of earth-laced savory fruit with a bit of chew to the texture and a stewed tea finish.
