Saturday, September 7, 2013 - The 1986 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is dark garnet in colour with a tawny rim. The rather developed nose displayed captivating nuances of dark red cherries, cassis, cedar, cigar box and copper. On the palate, an initial sweetness of dark red cherries and wood dust that progresses to slight spice and herbs of rosemary and tomato leaves.

A medium bodied wine that boasts of a fascinating balance and integration. Good structure yet smooth, elegant and gentle on the palate with its almost powdery tannins. Definitely still has some strength in the wine to give it a good consistent drive without being forceful and rough.
