"Fabulous aromas of crushed berries such as blackberries and blackcurrants, not to mention spices. Wet earth and cedar, too. Complex. Full-bodied, yet agile and complete. A dense center palate. Ultra-round tannins. Everything in the right balance. Wonderful to taste but better to drink in 2022."
"(90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot) Tiefgründiges, elegantes, klassisches, komplexes Bouquet, verschiedene Beeren, Heidelbeeren, Zedern, Trüffel, Black Currant, Feuerstein. Dichtverwobener, vielschichtiger, aromatischer Gaumen mit viel feinem Tannin, eleganter, klassischer Struktur, vielfältiger, komprimierter Aromatik, feiner, süsser Frucht, sehr langer, kräftiger Abgang mit fast explodierenden Aromen. 19/20 2022 - 2045"
"We are now in the realm of truly young wines, and also in the realm of Ducru just totally hitting its stride and celebrating it potential. This is young and inky in colour, fresh with plenty of St Julien signature: real menthol freshness and cigar box seduction - great Cabernet flavours. This is barely getting going and is a wine that you want to know what happens next. Excellent stuff, spicy, powerful and juicy. 100% new oak."
"The 2014 Ducru Beaucaillou showed extremely well when I tasted it with Bruno Borie during en primeur. Now in bottle, it delivers on that promise with beautifully defined blackberry and raspberry fruit infused with cedar and pencil box aromas. Quintessentially Saint Julien. The palate is very well defined with fine tannin, pitch-perfect acidity, a palpable sense of energy and frisson from start to finish that delivers plenty of tobacco-infused fruit. It is not the perfection-flirting legend that I have read elsewhere; it is just a damn good Saint Julien that is going to drink beautifully over the next 25 to 30 years."
"I just love the style of this estate and the 2014 Ducru-Beaucaillou is an undeniable success in the vintage. Made from 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot brought up in 100% new French oak, it offers a deep purple color as well as both elegance and power in its crème de cassis, raspberries, cedarwood, graphite, and floral bouquet, with its background oak smothered in fruit. Possessing a classic elegance, full-bodied richness, sweet tannin, and stunning length, it one of the wines of the vintage and will drink nicely for another two to three decades."
"Primärfruchtig, nahezu mit noch gärigen Bonbon-Noten, aber auch sehr floral. Wuchtiger Gaumen, öliger Hintergrund, fleischiges Tannin in hoher Menge, das intensiv Druck macht, aber durch die Viskosität und die intensive Mineralität eingebunden ist. Merklich kräftiger Alkohol, dezente Säure. 90 Prozent Cabernet Sauvignon."
"This powerful wine has a superb mix of the crispest fruit and great structure. Blackberries and black currants shine through the tannins, expressing the liveliness of the vintage. It is so well delineated with everything in its place. The wine is certainly going to age for decades. Drink from 2027."
Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou ist berühmt für seine Langlebigkeit und seine vielschichtige Struktur. Mit großem Cabernet-Anteil entfaltet er erst nach Jahren sein komplexes Potential und begeistert Liebhaber klassischer Bordeaux-Stilistik.
