Château Ducru-Beaucaillou--Vintage 1982
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé. Château-bottled
Levels base of neck or better. In original wooden case
Tasting note: A wine of extraordinary aromatic complexity and finesse, this sweet effort possesses a dark ruby color with a pink rim. Once past the gloriously complex aromatics (blueberries, black currants, minerals, and underbrush), the wine reveals terrific fruit intensity, excellent harmony, medium body, sweet tannin, and a long finish. This superb, elegant 1982 has achieved full maturity, but it promises to last for another 15+ years. 94 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #129, June 2000
