Château Ducru-Beaucaillou (St. Julien)
Clearly fading, the medium-bodied wine was better on the nose, than on the short palate. Most of the red fruits have been replaced by earthy, cedar and leafy notes. All things considered, not a bad showing for a 70-year-old bottle of wine. 6,142 Views Tasted Aug 15, 2019not quite corked, but it was not quite right either. It was definitely off its game, which was too bad, as it was the first time I was going to taste the wine. Very earthy, bretty and focused on the smoke and tobacco side of the style range. The patina of age added to the wine, but the finish short and muted. Keep in mind, this note is about this specific bottle. Bottles in better shape should deliver a much better tasting experience. 8,800 Views Tasted May 21, 2013 |
