Ducru Beaucaillou

Rober Parker Jr. bewertet den Ducru 2010 wie folgt:

With loads of minerality. a terrific opaque purple color. and slightly more structure and tannin than either Poyferre or St.-Pierre (and that’s saying something). this is a blockbuster. fabulous Ducru Beaucaillou that should be at its best a good decade from now and last 40-50 years. The proprietor is not alone in thinking this is the finest Ducru Beaucaillou since the 1961. The classic wet rock. creme de cassis. subtle oak and gravelly stoniness of the vineyard come through in this spectacular. full-bodied. gorgeously pure and intense effort. This is wine for the ages that should be forgotten for at least a decade.

Proprietor Bruno Borie thinks this wine is as superb as their 2009. Slightly more structured and less flamboyant than its older sibling. it is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot from the very best parcels of the vineyard. This wine tips the scales at 14% natural alcohol but has a normal pH of 3.6. which is one of the characteristics of this vintage (high alcohol. normal pH). which thus accounts for the freshness and precision found in most 2010s.
 

The nose is phenomenal with perfect aromas of Cabernet Sauvignon with currant bush. blackberries and minerals. A pure expression of Cab. The palate is perfect with a full body. but has perfectly integrated tannins with a texture like the finest cashmere. It's strong but noble with perfect form and beauty. All in harmony. A fabulous wine that everyone who loves Bordeaux should have a bottle or case of. Better in 2020.
