CRITIC REVIEWS
William Kelley
A wine that will delight Médoc purists, the 2021 Ducru-Beaucaillou is a blend of fully 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot and checks in at a mere 12.5% alcohol. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cigar wrapper, violets, loamy soil and spices, its full-bodied, layered and velvety, with superb depth at the core, lively acids and powdery tannins. Complete and penetrating, its a true classic, reminiscent of a modern-day version of Ducrus brilliant 1996—though todays precision winemaking means that the 2021 is unlikely to go through so long a hibernation as that vintage.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
The 2021 Ducru-Beaucaillou, 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot, was tasted as a tank sample just before bottling. Deep garnet-purple in color, it opens with notes of crushed blackcurrants, fresh raspberries, and Morello cherries with touches of dried herbs, mossy tree bark, pencil lead, and damp soil. The light-bodied palate delivers mouth-filling, crunchy, black and red berry flavors with chewy tannins and a lively backbone, finishing with an herbal lift.
