Drinking maturity drink (2017 - 2045)
Valuation 19/20
75 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 25 % Merlot Deep, dark garnet colour with violet reflections. The nose is moving, lots of black cherries, currants, smoke, noblesse, black fruits and precious woods, showing a wonderful terroir aroma, delicately adapted roasted tones and dark toast notes. The palate reveals a bundled, still black berry finesse package, a class of its own, with tobacco and cedar wood notes of Ducru in reincarnated form, will become like very old, great Ducru vintages, only even more brilliant in terms of technique. This wine has an ageing potential of at least 40 years and will never completely lose its ancestral youthful beauty. Anyone who is upset by the overpriced Premier Crus will find a great alternative here. (19/20). 08: Deep, dark wine red colour with purple and black reflections. Brilliant, profound Cabernet and cedar bouquet, vanilla stems, currently closed, lots of ripe plums and dark precious woods. Great palate presence, homogeneous, ripe tannins surrounded by quite a lot of fat, balanced, demanding astringency. Shows even more fascination and greatness now than at the primeur tasting last year and is one of the greatest Ducru vintages of the new era. (19/20). 09: 2006 Ducru-Beaucaillou: Warm bouquet, freshly baked black bread, nutty contours and freshly roasted coffee, wonderful expression of cabernet. Dense, fleshy palate, mealy tongue, lots of demanding but quite noble tannins, tends towards a certain masculinity and thus resembles its own 96. Will and can still improve. At the moment: 18/20. 15: Still a rich ruby-purple colour. The bouquet begins timidly, but then picks up continuously. First wild Cabernet traces, then Dominican cigars and Szechuan peppercorns, the fruit has retreated somewhat. On the palate, too, you can sense its current reticence, balanced, yet strongly astringent, still appearing superficial and demanding. However, its greatness is clearly evident. It will be ready to drink for the first time from 2022.
