Tasting Notes

Vinous 95+

The 2016 Ducru-Beaucaillou has quite a primal bouquet compared to its peers, quite luscious blackberry and blueberry scents, but it is far from exotic. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, fine acidity, harmonious and poised, with a bright, very elegant finish. Wonderful. Expect that score to trickle upwards as it matures in bottle. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting. [Neal Martin, 21/04/2026]

Anticipated maturity: 2028-2048

Robert Parker 98

Very deep purple-black in color, the 2016 Ducru-Beaucaillou delivers a pronounced, enticing nose of baked plums, blueberry preserves, fruitcake and boysenberry with suggestions of lilacs, mocha, hoisin and exotic spices plus a waft of cedar chest. Full-bodied, rich and opulent in the mouth, the palate has layer upon layer of black fruit preserves and spicy nuances, matched by a very firm, grainy frame, finishing with epic length and depth.
