FINE CLARET, INCLUDING LATOUR AND MARGAUX 1983
Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)

Offered in original wooden cases
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou--Vintage 1970
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Good appearance. Levels: five base of neck and seven top-shoulder
Tasting Note: Leaving aside Latour, I rate Ducru and Cheval Blanc as the best of the 70s.. Three recent but variable notes, the best in Feb 2004: deep; harmonious; sweet, rich, perfect balance and condition. A few months later, a corked bottle. Most recently: not very clear cut, but good. Last tasted March 2005. At best ***** M.B.
