I had read many of the recent tasting comments, all mentioning 4 hrs of decanting was needed. I was prepared for this, but still frankly surprised with how closed, almost acrid this wine was upon opening. Bottle cellared carefully, cork was in pristine condition. After 2 hrs, it still tasted the same, so moved it to a wide open container. By hour 3 it indeed began to blossom and after 4-5 hours was fantastic. All the notes of fruit, leather, depth, that one would hope for. Chemistry at work.

Its amazing how elegant this wine shows at such a young age. Right at the entrance of its drinking window, there's no doubt that this will continue to put on weight in the right places. Again, CDB seems to have really dialed into a deep vain of minerality and it shows in its wines as a cross between deep graphite and earth. Elegant, soft and extremely persistent on exit, this is first growth quality Bordeaux. Drink or HOLD

Deep, dark in color, the wine exudes a cigar box, tobacco leaf, flowers, black cherries, blackberries, crushed rock, clay, and lead pencil. If awards were given out for the most sensual vintage of Ducru Beaucaillou ever produced, 2015 earns the gold medal. Rich, full-bodied, opulent, sexy, and also vibrant, fresh, long, and intense, the fruit shows purity and intensity, but it is the silky textured, lingering finish that steals the show. Give this a few years and it is really going to shine. The wine blends 95% Cabernet Sauvignon with 5% Merlot. Drink from 2027-2060.
