Rated 91 by Robert Parker. "A supremely elegant, dense purple-colored effort, the 1998 reveals aromas of cassis, black raspberries, minerals, and currants. Precise, well-delineated, and medium to full-bodied, with magnificent purity and understated elegance, this noble, restrained wine reveals a tannic finish, suggesting 4-5 more years of cellaring is warranted. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025." Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1998, St. Julien, Bordeaux, France, 750ml (Valid only while current inventory lasts.) |
