Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1982

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (96)

"The harvest lasted 16 days from the 16th September," proprietor Bruno Borie mentioned about the 1982 Ducru-Beaucaillou. Medium brick colored, it comes galloping out of the glass with bold, expressive notes of Black Forest cake, preserved plums and mincemeat pie with hints of cigar box, star anise, eucalyptus and espresso plus wafts of roasted nuts and iron ore. Medium to full-bodied, generous and opulent, the palate has beautifully ripe, fine-grained tannins and tons of youthful fruit, finishing with epically long-lasting layers of preserved black fruits and exotic spices.

This Ducru '82 has always been a beauty. Dark ruby in color, with a slight amber edge. Very fresh and floral, with loads of berry and rose character. Medium-bodied, with a good balance of soft tannins and a caressing finish.--1982 Bordeaux horizontal. Drink now. –JS

Er war drei Stunden dekantiert und irgendwie immer noch fast blockiert. Das Ding ist - besonders im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen 1982er - extrem jung. Unglaublich dunkel. Satt. Da wird man sich wohl in 10 Jahren erst die Augen reiben.
