Château Ducru-Beaucaillou--Vintage 1995
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Lot 529 is offered in an original wooden case and lot 530 in a carton
Tasting Note : The 1995 is extremely flattering, largely because of its exceptionally low acidity and sweet, jammy black fruit character. It is atypically ripe and fleshy for a Ducru-Beaucaillou, an estate known for its reserved elegance, a la Lafite-Rothschild. This flashy, ostentatiously-styled Ducru should prove to be a hit with not only longtime fans of this impeccably run estate, but also with readers who are unwilling to wait the 8-10 years that top vintages of Ducru normally require to round into form. I should note that while a name had not yet been chosen (the most likely candidate is La Croix Beaucaillou), Ducru-Beaucaillou has begun producing a second wine with the 1994 vintage. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #104 (Apr 1996)
