Château Ducru-Beaucaillou--Vintage 1978
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Levels: eleven bottom neck, five top shoulder, one upper shoulder; lightly bin soiled labels, lightly corroded capsules
"An outstanding 1978, Ducru-Beaucaillou's effort displays a fragrant, well-developed bouquet of licorice, earth, black currants, and underbrush. Rich for a 1978, with none of the vegetal character now found in many wines of this vintage, this fully mature, medium-bodied wine exhibits soft tannin, excellent concentration and purity, and a sweet, elegant finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2010. Last tasted 3/97" Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (Jan 1998)
