Estimate
Extremely aromatic with crushed-raspberry and plum character. Sweet tobacco, too. Hints of wet earth and dried mushrooms. Medium to full body, silky and racy tannins and an oyster-shell and iodine finish. A beauty.
...voluptuous fruits that emerge from the ripe dense tannins. They are balanced by intense acidity and a crisp edge.
...palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and energetic, very focused with superb mineralité.
...lovely beam of lush raspberry preserves and cassis, backed by velvety structure. Ends with enticing warm fruitcake and melted red licorice notes.
Round and fresh and on the button. Firm structure and really juicy.
This is a second label of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou.
