CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2014 Ducru Beaucaillou showed extremely well when I tasted it with Bruno Borie during en primeur. Now in bottle, it delivers on that promise with beautifully defined blackberry and raspberry fruit infused with cedar and pencil box aromas. Quintessentially Saint Julien. The palate is very well defined with fine tannin, pitch-perfect acidity, a palpable sense of energy and frisson from start to finish that delivers plenty of tobacco-infused fruit. It is not the perfection-flirting legend that I have read elsewhere; it is just a damn good Saint Julien that is going to drink beautifully over the next 25 to 30 years.
Alex Hunt MW
Very classy barrel sample; cassis and subtle vanilla oak, some lift, pure and symmetrical. Blueberry emerges with air. Medium-bodied palate, with fine density. Lots of acid and grip. Fresh style, very serious. Dry, not that flashy. Finish slightly pinched at this stage. Sleekly classic. (AH)
