VERKOSTNOTIZ:
Verkostnotiz Wine Advocate: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.
Verkostnotiz Falstaff:
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart tabakig unterlegter Edelholzhauch, schwarze Waldbeeren, Nuancen von Lakritze, Anklang von dunklen Kirschen, süße Gewürze im Hintergrund. Komplex, feines Cassis, Brombeerkonfit, saftig-seidige Tannine, frisch strukturiert, extraktsüß und mineralisch im Abgang, verfügt über Harmonie und große Länge, feinwürzig-pfeffriger Nachhall, sicheres Reifepotenzial. (2025 -2065)
Verkostnotiz 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.
