Description

Very imprerssive, intense, dark cherry, rich 'legs' good fruit, cedar and whiff of medicinal Medoc. A very satisfactory mouthful. Now to 2025 **** Michael Broadbent.

The 1986 Ducru possesses a dark ruby color with purple nuances. Initially the bouquet is restrained, but with coaxing it reveals scents of lead pencil, sweet cranberry and black currant fruit nicely intertwined with aromas of steel, minerals, and earth. Rich and medium to full-bodied, this is an intensely concentrated Ducru-Beaucaillou with formidable aging potential. Drink 2002-2030. 92/100 Robert Parker

12/23/2012 - TAIPEILEVIATHAN LIKES THIS WINE:94 Points
I really quite enjoyed this wine. Our bottle was one of the bunch that was re-bottled at the winery I believe in 2011? Showing lots of power and even a bit of youth, this still has many years ahead left but is drinking very well right now. Outperformed the '98 Latour we had in the same night by a considerable with more of everything: more red fruit, more earth, more flavor, more nose, more complexity, more finish, more presence... the only thing it had less of was its associated cost, and a little less subtlety. Bravo.

Drank over two hours. Should have decanted. Nice big big nose of red fruit, tobacco, cedar and leather. The palate matched with surprising emphasis on the red fruit--at times this seemed jammy. Quite a bit of tannin, an '86 for sure, on the long finish. A nice wine that needs time.

10/9/2012 - SALIL WROTE:93 Points
Still incredibly young with the fruit very fresh and a powerful tannic spine beneath that's almost overwhelming at first. This softens and becomes a lot more approachable and fragrant with a couple of hours in the decanter, with cedar, tobacco, graphite, leather and rich dark fruited flavours coming together seamlessly. Outstanding, really classical Bordeaux though this really does need a fair bit more time in the cellar.

10/1/2012 - DREAM WROTE:92 Points
It's 50/50 with these Ducru's from this era given issues in their cellars but this was a good, clean bottle. Very much an old-school Bordeaux with a slightly rustic character but the charm and elegance of Ducru can be found lurking under the strong tannins that are finally starting to ameliorate a bit. This wine has depth in the middle and possesses good intensity with flavors of tobacco, spices and charred earth. The acidity is high but overall the wine is balanced and delivers an excellent aged Bordeaux experience. It's just beginning to drink well and good bottles should last indefinitely.
