Product Description
RP96 "Composed of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, the medium to deep garnet-brick colored 2000 Ducru-Beaucaillou charges out of the gate with flamboyant scents of baked black currants, raisin cake, prunes, Chinese five spice and eucalyptus plus touches of cigar box, new leather and cast iron pan. Medium-bodied, the palate is remarkably refreshing with all these decadent spice and dried berries layers coating the palate, textured by soft, powdery tannins, finishing long and mineral laced. Stunning!" LPB for TWA Aug 2020
LP96 "A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, the 2000 Ducru-Beaucaillou is deep garnet in color, with a touch of brick. It swans out of the glass with gregarious, mature notes of cigar box, new leather, potpourri, and dried bay leaves, leading to a core of prunes, dried cherries, and fragrant soil, plus a touch of iron ore. The medium-bodied palate has compelling freshness and soft, silt-like tannins supporting the evolved black fruit and mineral layers, finishing long and graceful." LPB for TWI Feb 2024
