Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou

Deep, dark purple-red color with a purple rim, not quite opaque. The aromas are of plush red-fruits & coffee, wrapped around by attractive toastiness, cedary touches & chocolatey aromas. The palate shows blackcurrant fruit with cocoa & a slight seam of graphite running through it.

The mid-palate is elegant structured & cedary with lovely fine tannins. There is a concentrated core of licorice fruit. Alcohol is balanced, acidity is very fresh & the finish is long.
