Château Ducru-Beaucaillou--Vintage 1996
1 dozen bottles per lot
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou--Vintage 1996 Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé In original wooden case "This wine is remarkable. It is muscular, concentrated, and classic. Bottled in late June, 1998, it exhibits a saturated ruby/purple color, as well as a knock-out nose of minerals, licorice, cassis, and an unmistakable lead pencil smell that I often associate with top vintages of Lafite-Rothschild. It is sweet and full-bodied, yet unbelievably rich with no sense of heaviness or flabbiness. The wine possesses high tannin, but it is extremely ripe, and the sweetness of the black currant, spice-tinged Cabernet Sauvignon fruit is pronounced. This profound, backward Ducru-Beaucaillou is a must purchase. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2035." Robert Parker Wine Advocate #122 (Apr 1999) 1 dozen bottles per lot
