Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou Magnum 1995 1,5L

ROBERT PARKER “Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is one of the most prestigious estates in Saint-Julien, producing wines of remarkable elegance and depth. The 1995 vintage, particularly in Magnum format, showcases the estate’s hallmark style of balance and complexity. This wine is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, offering rich notes of blackcurrant, cedar, and earthy graphite. The long, cool growing season resulted in a wine with firm tannins and vibrant acidity, making it ideal for long-term aging. Now, after nearly three decades, it has developed beautifully, with tertiary notes of tobacco, leather, and spice, while still retaining its core of fruit. A true classic from an outstanding vintage.”
