19 Rene Gabriel
Sehr dunkles Weinrot mit viel Granatreflexen. Das Bouquet ist entweder verhalten oder diskret, was aber für einen Wein in diesem Zwischenstand irgendwie logisch ist. Was in die Nase gelangt ist subtil und sehr elegant. Im Gaumen perfekt geformt, die Säure ist reif, die Tannine sind mild und gleichen die feine Adstringenz perfekt aus, im Nachklang kommen Kräuter und viel schwarzbeeriger Cabernet zum Vorschein. Ist der 2009er vielleicht als Ducru etwas zu laut, so hat dieser 2005er genau die Idealmasse und das Maximum der gewünschten Typizität. Hat das Zeug um den letzten Punkt auch noch zuzulegen bis zu seiner Reife. In ein paar Jahren geht es hier erstmals zaghaft los!

The 2005 Ducru Beaucaillou is a 10,000-case blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Merlot (they used to produce 18,000-20,000 cases). It is an exceptionally powerful wine with a dense purple color, superb intensity, and a beautiful, sweet nose of spring flowers, raspberries, blueberries, graphite, and creme de cassis. Full-bodied with fabulous concentration, exceptionally high tannin, good acidity, and massive layers of richness that build incrementally on the palate, this monumental effort is more structured than their outstanding 2003. It may be the finest wine produced at this estate since the 1982 and 1961 Ducrus. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2050.

Aromas of blackberry, currant and toasty oak, with a hint of spice, lead to a full-bodied palate, with plenty of blackberry, chocolate and Indian spices. Balanced, refined and very pretty, with a velvety texture and a long, beautifully textured finish. Best after 2013. 10,000 cases made. JS

A nice, complex wine with notes of flowers, berries and leather in the nose. Full-bodied, with pure fruit that turns from light raspberry to cherry jam. This is balanced and silky, a beautiful harmony. Give this some time if you can.

Château Ducru Beaucaillou
Splendidamente posizionato lungo l'estuario Gironda, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, in stile vittoriano, si trova in posizione elevata, con una vista mozzafiato sui terreni e le acque sottostanti. Fondata nel XIII secolo, in questa tenuta si sono succedute solo cinque famiglie di proprietari. Oggi lo Château è gestito dalla società Jean Eugène Borie SA, il rappresentante della terza generazione Bruno-Eugène è amministratore delegato dal 2003. Grazie alle straordinarie origini geologiche, le grandi pietre che si trovano nel vigneto di 75 ettari offrono un terroir unico per la viticoltura. Ducru-Beaucaillou produce vini di Saint-Julien per antonomasia, assemblaggi raffinati, eleganti e appaganti dal lunghissimo finale. Proprietà 2ème Grand Cru Classé, i terreni sono piantati con un mix di Cabernet Sauvignon in quantità prevalente, seguito da Merlot e uguali proporzioni di Cabernet Franc e Petit Verdot. Splendido Super Second, il Grand Vin è un vino esemplare con la classica struttura della denominazione, che combina grazia e grandezza con note sottili di cedro e frutti neri.
