2010 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, Cru Classé St-Julien

2010 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, Cru Classé St-Julien

Appealingly fragrant on the nose, with a touch of something floral coming through. Far more open and expressive than one might expect, but showing a deft touch on the palate. The tannins are highly structural, but finely-realised, giving the wine a beautiful elegance despite its weight and stature. 90% Cabernet-Sauvignon, this ably demonstrates the success of the grape variety on the left bank, singing of dense, dark berries and crunchy ripe fruit. Amazingly long and fresh on the finish. This is a fantastic vintage for Ducru-Beaucaillou.
