Notes de dégustation

Wineadvocate

The 2020 Ducru-Beaucaillou unwinds in the glass with aromas of dark berries, pencil shavings, violets and pipe tobacco, all framed by creamy new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and concentrated, with a deep but tightly wound core that's still quite wrapped up in extract and oak tannin, even if it isn't quite as big-boned as its 2019 counterpart. It will require some patience. - WK 04/2023

Vinous

The 2020 Ducru Beaucaillou was picked from 11-30 September, matured entirely in new oak for an expected 18 months. It has a very succinct bouquet, not one that leaps from the glass and demands attention, but it unfolds slowly, at its own pace, revealing enticing scents of blackberry, cedar, iris petals and crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit. There is a saline spine that runs through this Saint-Julien from start to finish, a quite enormous structure that exerts grip towards the finish. It is not a Ducru-Beaucaillou that goes out to deliver finesse or understatement, but one that you will have to cellar for a few years, pull out and have the superlatives ready. This is an immense and cerebral Ducru-Beaucaillou from Bruno Borie and his team. (Drink between 2031-2065) - NM 05/2021

Beck

81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot. Que de complexité et de finesse dans ce bouquet ! Il révèle d’invitantes nuances d’herbes séchées, de baies noires et de bois de réglisse. Élégantes nuances de graphite. La mise en bouche signale d’entrée la puissance du vin. Ainsi il affiche un caractère dense, ample mais également vif et même gourmand. Un Ducru puissant qui gère sa vigueur avec sérénité. Les tannins affichent un grain fin et créent la symbiose avec la tension de l’acidité qui donne du pep à l’ensemble du palais. Au final, l’équilibre est parfait car la puissance des tannins est canalisée tandis que la fraîcheur de l’acidité soutient l’expression aromatique jusqu’en finale. 2027-2060

Suckling

Blackcurrants and blueberries with violets and crushed stone. Extremely aromatic. Full-bodied but very tight and reserved, with racy, almost steely tannins. Some subtle sweet fruit in the center palate. Great transparency and clarity. Super precision here. Vertical and polished. Try after 2028. - 03/2023

Dunnuck

Lastly, the 2020 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is another legendary wine from this château that has been on an incredible run over the past decade. A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot that was brought up all in new French oak, it has a saturated purple hue to go with an incredible, mineral-laced bouquet of crème de cassis, liquid violets, graphite, and tobacco leaf. More structured and concentrated than any of the Léovilles, this blockbuster, deep, concentrated, full-bodied Saint-Julien has off-the-charts purity, ultra-fine tannins, and a great, great finish. I wrote in my notes, "Like the 2010, only better." You won't find a more concentrated yet flawlessly balanced and elegant wine out there. It's going to need a decade of cellaring and will have 40, 50, if not 60 years of longevity. - 03/2023
