2004 Ducru-Beaucaillou 2eme Cru Classe, Saint-Julien 1x750ml

Robert Parker 92

Medium to deep garnet colored with a hint of brick, the 2004 Ducru-Beaucaillou offers up wonderfully savory scents of sauteed herbs, charcuterie and tapenade over notes of baked plums, boysenberries and raspberry pie plus touches of cast iron pan and new leather. Medium-bodied, firm, chewy and with a refreshingly energetic mid-palate of red and black berry preserves, it finishes on a persistent mineral note. [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 15/07/2020]
