Château Ducru-Beaucaillou--Vintage 2008
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
In original wooden cases
Tasting note: One of the stars of the vintage, and a remarkable achievement in 2008, with impressive richness, this dense purple coloured wine is almost as opaque as the 2010. Spring flowers, crushed rocks, crème de cassis and some subtle oak are followed by a full-bodied, concentrated wine that transcends the vintage character in its power, richness, and aging potential. It also exhibits tremendous precision, purity, and depth of character. It is more forward than the 2010 is likely to be, but probably not as sumptuous as the 2009 will turn out to be. This is a wine to buy. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2035. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #194 May 2011
