Scores + Notes
Scents of dried herbs, underbrush, cassis, and currants emerge from this attractively perfumed, supple, spicy, medium-bodied St.-Julien. It possesses a succulent texture, low acidity, and soft tannin. Enjoy it over the next decade. Apr 2002, www.robertparker.com
Robert Parker Score: 88/100
Very grapey aromas, with hints of licorice and berries. Medium- to full-bodied, with good tannins and a fresh, fruity aftertaste. Best from 2003 through 2006.James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2002

2014: THE F+R PICKS. DUCRU-BEAUCAILLOU
Along with Leoville Lascases, Ducru-Beaucaillou is arguably the best wine of St Julien, producing wines that can often match the first growths in terms of quality, and doing so with some panache. Bruno Borie has performed wonders here since 2003. The vineyard area has been roughly halved – only the best plots, those that surround the chateau, are used for ...
