The red wine Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, vintage 2005 from the winery Château Ducru-Beaucaillou has been rated in 2010 with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon from the region St. Julien in France.
Dark ruby-garnet in colour with purple reflections and a pale watery rim. Fine, sweet Amarena cherries on the nose, with notes of precious wood, roasted tobacco nuances and citrus zest. Juicy on the palate with a core of elegant sweet cherry fruit and vivid tannins that support the wine well. The profile is fresh and racy, with a mineral edge and cherry nuances on the finish. It's already well-rounded, obviously an early starter, with dark berries and chocolate in the aftertaste. Has grown considerably since release and has a great future. Drink/store +30.
