Château Ducru-Beaucaillou St Julien 1855 2ième Cru 2008
Spiced plum on the attack, this is a gourmet, inviting wine with a rich ruby colour, still looking and feeling young at 14 years old. One to dive into, building up layers through the palate of blackcurrant and loganberry fruits laced with sage and rosemary spices, graphite, campfire embers and mint leaf on the finish. Confident, overdelivering in the vintage. Harvest October 2 to 16. Eric and Jacques Boissenot consultants, Virginie Sallette technical director.
