1998 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou - St. Julien (750ml)
92 Points
"The 1998 Ducru-Beaucaillou, matured in two-thirds new oak, is so

much better than the succeeding vintage, one that I have admired

since first tasting it just after bottling. There is much more complexity

and personality on the nose with vivacious red berry fruit, the rose

petals and kirsch that I noticed before, maybe here with accentuated

earthiness. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins,

classic in style, the oak nicely integrated. There is commendable weight

and persistence, especially in terms of salinity on the finish. Whilst not

as refined as recent vintages, this is maturing well. Tasted at the Ducru

Beaucaillou vertical at the château"
