Château Ducru-Beaucaillou--Vintage 1989
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Lot 513 is offered in a carton and lot 514 is offered in an original wooden case
Tasting Note : Ducru's 1989 was one of the more tannic, backward wines in the blind tasting. It is cleanly made, and well-crafted, with plenty of black-raspberry and cassis fruit nicely touched by minerals and a fragrant, floral component. Medium-bodied, elegant, and well-endowed, this is a potentially outstanding wine if all the tannin melts away over the next 5-6 years. One of the least flattering 1989s to drink at present, it requires 4-5 more years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2020. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #109 (Feb 1997)
