Château Ducru-Beaucaillou--Vintage 1961
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Bin-soiled and damp-stained label. Level upper-shoulder
Tasting Note: A superb '61, endorsed by nearly forty notes well spread over 22 years. Excellent from the start. Five stars through the 1980's. More recently, a superb mangum in Aschau, fully developed, rich, lovely, complete. At the La Réserve tasting of '61s in 1999, a ruddy, orange-rimmed maturity; the most beutiful bouquet, copy-book classic, perfectly mature; sweet, cedary cigar box scent, mellow, understated. At its peak. Most recently, showing its age but delicious. Extended flavour, still with tannin and acidity. Last noted lunching with Anthony Hanson at the Carlton Club in London, July 2001 ***** M.B.
