Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Stunning nose with great complexity, elderberries, blueberries and hints of blackcurrant spurs, fine toasting, graphite and hints of pencil shavings, discreet floral hints in the background. On the palate excellent freshness and great elegance, ripe tannins, succulent fruit and distinct oriental spice. Excellent depth and length with tension. A truly great Ducru-Beaucaillou in a very rich yet precise style, close to perfection.
