just like bruno borie, ducru-beaucaillou makes you smile. we are in the presence of the archetype of saint-julien, a sort of synthesis between margalese finesse and pauillac power, a concentrate of classicism which has managed to take the turn towards modernity. always in the peynaud spirit, the wine combines flexibility and structure, aromatic expression and rigor of construction, but what characterizes the succession of vintages that come out of these cellars is the tannic delicacy, the beautiful phenolic maturity of these wines. which results in a satiny structure, a hymn to cabernet-sauvignon when it is brought with skill to its perfect maturity. medium to deep garnet colored with a hint of brick, the 2004 ducru-beaucaillou offers up wonderfully savory scents of sautéed herbs, charcuterie and tapenade over notes of baked plums, boysenberries and raspberry pie plus touches of cast iron pan and new leather. medium-bodied, firm, chewy and with a refreshingly energetic mid-palate of red and black berry preserves, it finishes on a persistent mineral note.
