Description
Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 2003St. Julien
owc
Bottle (12)
Property of a prominent Texas attorney, this meticulously assembled cellar showcases top vintages from benchmark producers, maintained in high-end professional storage and presented here as a select offering from a far more extensive collection, with impeccable provenance. Bid with confidence.
"One of the most compelling Ducru Beaucaillou’s made in the last quarter century is the 2003 (which is also the first vintage to be packaged in an impressive heavy glass bottle with a special long cork). A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, it is a powerful, tannic, blockbuster effort revealing a liqueur of mineral-like component intermixed with creme de cassis, raspberry, and flower characteristics, and an atypically high 13.5% alcohol. Having firmed up considerably since bottling, it exhibits tremendous definition, weight, and concentration." (96 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, April 2006)
“Produced the very first year that Bruno Borie took over management of the estate, there was no leaf thinning in July during this notoriously hot summer, allowing for more shade on the bunches. Medium to deep garnet in color with a touch of brick, the 2003 Ducru-Beaucaillou reveals opulent notes of Indian spices, cigar box, sandalwood and licorice with a crème de cassis and plum preserves core plus a hint of rose oil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a firm, chewy texture and lovely freshness delivering a very long, spicy finish.” (94 pts. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, Aug. 2020)
