Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou 2018

Deep, vivid, intense purple-black and brilliant in color. The nose is open, generous and hamonious. Redolent of pure, ripe, healthy fruits, rich and warm bouquet. On the palate, truly remarkable, energy and vivacity, wonderful polished tannins. Deep-fruited and delicious. Very long persistence.

Another rock 'em sock 'em St.-Julien here, brimming with nearly exotic blackberry, plum, blueberry and açaí berry reduction notes, bristling with brambly energy and racing through a graphite-edged finish. Shows gorgeous perfume throughout, despite the fairly obvious level of concentration. 

99 Points - James Suckling

Aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, new leather and bark follow through to a full body with a dense, deep palate that goes on and on, but is still shy and reserved. Large amount of ultra fine, cashmere-like tannins that are silky, sleek and wonderfully integrated. Extremely long and focused. Needs at least four to five years to start opening. A beautiful wine for the cellar. Try after 2027.
