Description
Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1996St. Julien
banded owc
Bottle (12)
Wines from the distinguished cellar of a New England gentleman. All wines acquired exclusively on release or as futures and stored in elite-grade professional storage.
"The 1996 is long, with a deep mid-palate. It also reveals tannin in the finish. This wine is remarkable. It is muscular, concentrated, and classic. Bottled in late June, 1998, it exhibits a saturated ruby/purple color, as well as a knock-out nose of minerals, licorice, cassis, and an unmistakable lead pencil smell that I often associate with top vintages of Lafite-Rothschild. It is sweet and full-bodied, yet unbelievably rich with no sense of heaviness or flabbiness. The wine possesses high tannin, but it is extremely ripe, and the sweetness of the black currant, spice-tinged Cabernet Sauvignon fruit is pronounced. This profound, backward Ducru-Beaucaillou is a must purchase." (96 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #122, Apr. 1999)
