Château Ducru-Beaucaillou--Vintage 1990
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Very slightly nicked labels. Levels into neck
Tasting note: Two bottles of the 1990 Ducru-Beaucaillou, both purchased from a local retailer, exhibited a damp, musty, cardboard component in the nose that obliterated the wine's fruit. The color was a healthy deep ruby/purple, and the wine possessed moderate weight and length, but, as I have written in the past, too many bottles seem musty, giving the impression of being corked. Interestingly, a bottle served at a friend's house on New Year's Day was unquestionably a 90-point wine, exhibiting no off aromas. Robert Parker. Wine Advocate # 109 (Feb 1997)
