2015 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Community Tasting Note

96 Points

Thursday, March 2, 2023 - Tasted blind. Decanted 30min, but feel free to go longer. Intense, deep and concentrated with a primary, fruit-forward nose. Loads of cherry, on balance more red with elements of raspberry. Ripe and extracted with compliments of sweet notes such as vanilla. Almost New Worldly in style. Dense palate, but with a soft – almost stain-like texture. Unlike on the nose, the palate did add initial aging notes of leather and barnyard. Despite a very youthful appearance, the balance was impeccable. This may already be the best Ducru I’ve had, even ahead of 2018, 2000 and 1982.
