  Sweet fully mature nose displaying toffee, dried fruit and hints of sherry. On the palate no bubbles left but some strong acidity and freshness, changing in the glass into complex aged flavors with truffle, baked apple and toasted brioche. Impressive and a great treat!

• 1982 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 94 Points

  France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien

  A bit shy on the nose. The palate is concentrated with good strong tannins, leather and fresh dark fruit, nicely structured with good depth but less polished now than the Pichon. This impressive late release Ducru is just at the beginning of its long life!
