Château Ducru Beaucaillou
Medium-full bodied, dry, ready, but will improve. The deep concentrated fruit is still masked by some very high quality oak. Very subdued this is a brooding wine and one that will require some years before opening out. Just as good as you would expect from this flourishing super-second growth.
Wine Advocate
"The deep purple-colored 1999 Ducru Beaucaillou, which represents 60% of the crop, offers aromas of crushed stones, raspberry liqueur, and black currants. This sweet, pure, and harmonious wine possesses elegance, finesse, and multiple nuances rather than power, concentration, and structure. This is Bordeaux at its finest. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2018."
