The 2009 vintage of Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou is a legendary one in the Saint-Julien appellation, earning a perfect score (RP100) from Robert Parker. This red wine, made from 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, is full-bodied, combining power and elegance, and is ready to drink now with the potential for further aging.
Aroma and Taste: Upon opening, it exudes rich aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, and plum, with hints of violet, mint, cedarwood, and a touch of smoke. The palate is grand and silky, with a powerful mid-palate and an exceptionally long finish.
