The red wine Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, vintage 1962 from the winery Château Ducru-Beaucaillou has been rated in 2010 with 92 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon from the region St. Julien in France.
Rather strong carmine garnet. Initially somewhat washed out, a hint of damp wool, but also sweet cherry fruit, fine orange zest, but clears up more with every minute, then shows the nuances of cedar wood so typical of Ducru, roasted aromas, even hints of dark fruit. Full-bodied and complex on the palate, well-integrated tannins, some bitter chocolate, delicately spicy and persistent, a delicate, elegant wine with a salty finish. Drink/store +10
