Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1985 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1985 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe u. 1bn, slightly corroded capsules Superb, bloomy nose which shows the beauty of Merlot. Beautifully round and "terriblement" Ducru. Such silky texture. Superb follow-through and total Ducru Beaucaillou. At 23 years old, a plummy taste that is attractive. SS. Lot 136 12 bts (sc) per lot: USD 1000-1500 A silky sip of Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou is a total evocation of St.Julien. The scent, fruit and depth of this great second growth oozes class, a liquid tribute to terroir and the winemaking intelligence and integrity of the Borie family, the late Jean-Eugene, Francois-Xavier and, since 2003, Bruno Borie. When the wines are young, they have huge, black-fruit impact that is almost edible and this quality enables Ducru vintages from the Seventies, Sixties and Fifties to show with such grace. The sleek texture and alluring layers of taste on a mature bottle of Beaucaillou is difficult to beat, as those of us who know the 1961 can attest. The 1966 is marvelously exciting, the 1970 legendary, the 1975 quite brilliant and the 1982 immensely breedy and seductive. The wines from 1995 onwards have impressive definition and great style and no one should be without the 2003 and 2004, two fabulous wines of dramatically different character, as dictated by two wildly differing climatic conditions. The essence of Bordeaux is all here. SS. Quantity: 1
