Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou, 2eme Cru Classe 2000 (12 Bottles/OWC) (RP 96, WS 95)

  Red Wine from Bordeaux, France

The medium to deep garnet-brick colored 2000 Ducru-Beaucaillou charges out of the gate with flamboyant scents of baked black currants, raisin cake, prunes, Chinese five spice and eucalyptus plus touches of cigar box, new leather and cast iron pan. Medium-bodied, the palate is remarkably refreshing with all these decadent spice and dried berries layers coating the palate, textured by soft, powdery tannins, finishing long and mineral laced.
