CHATEAU DUCRU BEAUCAILLOU 2005 Saint Julien Red 0.75 Ltr

Deep garnet in color, the 2005 Ducru-Beaucaillou needs a bit of coaxing before sensually sliding out of the glass with the most alluring scent of red roses, kirsch, star anise, cardamom and fragrant earth on a core of blackcurrant pastilles, blackberry jam and warm plums. plus a touch of tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, the palate exhibits a wonderfully taut and tight structure of fine tannins and bold freshness supporting the dense fruit, with a long, fragrant finish.
