Ducru Beaucaillou 2015
CRITIC REVIEWS
Jeb Dunnuck
The 2015 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is up-front, ripe, and incredibly sexy, yet it holds onto a terrific sense of balance and elegance. Crème de cassis, minty herbs, tobacco, and violet notes all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, elegant, polished tannins, and beautiful overall purity. From a hot vintage that saw rain at the end of the year, its not a massive or over-the-top effort in any way, and it certainly offers plenty of pleasure even today, although it’s still quite young and unevolved. If push comes to shove, I think the 2014 is slightly more successful. Give bottles another 2-4 years and enjoy over the following 25-30 years.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Ducru-Beaucaillou rocks up with flamboyant baked black plums, crème de cassis, blueberry compote and chocolate-covered cherries scents plus hints of cinnamon stick, black tea and candied violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with black fruit preserves and spicy accents, with a firm, velvety frame and finishing with great length and perfume. Ideally, Id give it another year to fan out just a bit more, but it is coming around nicely and is already fantastically delicious!
