The red wine Ducru-Beaucaillou, vintage 2017 from the winery Château Ducru-Beaucaillou has been rated in 2018 by Peter Moser with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc from the region St. Julien in France.
Deep dark ruby, purple reflections, delicate brightening on the rim. Intense dark berry fruit on the nose with hints of cassis and blackberry, fresh orange zest and a mineral touch. Taut palate, ripe cherry fruit, vivid, still demanding tannins and a long finish with more black cherry and red berries. A savoury food wine showing some development, but with definite ageing potential.
