Tasting Notes

Supple yet full-bodied, with elegant black-fruit character supported by notes that can read cassis-forward and softly spicy. The finish is refined and balanced, emphasizing poise over sheer weight.

Food Paring

Pair with roasted lamb, prime rib, or duck to mirror the wine’s savory depth and polished tannins. It also complements earthy mushroom dishes and firm aged cheeses.

Professional Reviews

93 Wine Advocate

"Medium brick colored, the 1999 Ducru-Beaucaillou needs a little swirling to release the tightly coiled notions of dried cherries, fruitcake and red currant jelly with emerging hints of balsamic, mincemeat pie, menthol, powdered chocolate and star anise. The medium to full-bodied palate is wonderfully expressive with seamless freshness lightly lifting a great core of youthful red and black fruits plus fine-grained tannins to support, finishing with lingering savory and spice layers. This well-structured spice-bomb still has a lot of years left"
