Château Ducru-Beaucaillou--Vintage 2003
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
All lots in original wooden cases
Parcel: lots 986-988
"One of the most compelling Ducru Beaucaillou's made in the last quarter century is the 2003 (which is also the first vintage to be packaged in an impressive heavy glass bottle with a special long cork). A blend of 80 Cabernet Sauvignon and 20 Merlot, it is a powerful, tannic, blockbuster effort revealing a liqueur of mineral-like component intermixed with crème de cassis, raspberry, and flower characteristics, and an atypically high 13.5 alcohol. Having firmed up considerably since bottling, it exhibits tremendous definition, weight, and concentration. It is a wine for patient connoisseurs. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025+. A brilliant tour de force!" Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #164 (April 2006)
