Description
Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1982St. Julien
1tc, owc
Bottle (12)
"The 1982 is still 5-8 years away from full maturity, but it
exhibits a dense ruby/plum/garnet color to the rim as well
as a sweet perfume of forest floor, spice box, cedar, and
copious quantities of black fruits. Medium to full-bodied
and beautifully pure with sweet tannins, this wine has aged
more slowly than I initially expected." (96pts Robert Parker,
Wine Advocate #183, June 2009)
"...it exhibits a dense ruby/plum/garnet color to the rim as well as a sweet perfume of forest floor, spice box, cedar, and copious quantities of black fruits. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully pure with sweet tannins, this wine has aged more slowly than I initially expected. It is the finest Ducru Beaucaillou produced after the 1961 and before the 2003." (96 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #183, June 2009)
"From my cellar, the 1982 Ducru-Beaucaillou is one of the most youthful of the Médoc crus classés today. Unwinding in the decanter and glass with a rich bouquet of blackcurrants, licorice, cigar wrapper and loamy soil, it's full-bodied, fleshy and muscular, with a broad attack that segues into a deep core of fruit framed by ripe, powdery tannins and succulent acids. It's an unusually big-boned rendition of this elegant-styled wine, but it's no less compelling for that." (96 pts. William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Dec. 2022)
