99 James Suckling
Aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, new leather and bark follow through to a full body with a dense, deep palate that goes on and on, but is still shy and reserved. Large amount of ultra fine, cashmere-like tannins that are silky, sleek and wonderfully integrated. Extremely long and focused. Needs at least four to five years to start opening. A beautiful wine for the cellar. Try after 2027.
98 Robert Parker
The 2018 Ducru-Beaucaillou is composed of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot, aged 18 months in 100% new barriques. It has a pH of 3.7, 14.5% alcohol and an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 95. Deep purple-black colored, it has a powerful nose of baked black cherries, blackberry preserves and crème de cassis with nuances of menthol, pencil lead, cedar chest and Indian spices, plus fragrant wafts of violets and licorice emerging after a few minutes. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with impactful black fruits and exotic spices layers, supported by firm, ripe grainy tannins and bags of freshness, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note. There is a brightness to the wine—surprising freshness—and yet it remains very rich and hedonic, presenting an extraordinary vinous paradox that will blow away fans of this great estate.

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.
