Château Ducru-Beaucaillou--Vintage 1989
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
All lots in original wooden cases
Parcel: lots 257-259
"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)
