Description

Robert Parker 88 Drink: 1997 - 2007
One of the Medoc's more successful wines, the 1981 has reached full maturity. It exhibits a dark ruby/purple color, and a moderately attractive nose of minerals and jammy cranberry fruit intermixed with black currants. In the mouth, this wine has lost its baby fat, revealing medium body, and an elegant, measured personality. Pure, with well-integrated tannin, this is a stylish, graceful Ducru-Beaucaillou. Anticipated maturity: Now-2007. Last tasted 3/97

again a good bottle, not decanted. amazing to see this wine evolve in the glass. first a brett nose and a faded taste. In an hour a nice and mature cabernet, still tannic.

This bottle showed very well. Youthful garnet colour. No browning or thinning at rim. Needed 15 minutes of air to show raspberry and plum fruit with chocolate and earth, gentle mouth feel. No discernible tannins or acid. Clean finish. Not as outstanding as last bottle, but still very pleasant. Will attend to remaining bottles this year.

from 1/2 bottle, in very good condition. mature cabernet. not the deepest or longest wine but a real pleasure to drink. will buy more.

32 years old but still very elegant, with great length. This was, above all, an immensely enjoyable old claret - exactly what it was predicted to be en primeur. A great example of an really excellent wine from a less than stellar vintage, with entirely correct St Julien features. What a delight!
