The 1986 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a classic, robustly structured vintage that has rewarded decades of patience. Widely considered a highly successful, traditional year in Saint-Julien, this wine offers a beautifully mature and profound tasting experience. It exhibits a deep, complex bouquet of dried cassis, sweet cigar box, roasted oak, earthy truffles, and intense graphite/lead pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, the palate retains a firm, elegant backbone with tannins that have finally softened into a polished, layered texture. A deeply satisfying and aristocratic old claret.
