Calvet label, shipped and bottled by Joules of Stone. Bright ruby. Flirtatious. Lively. Very pretty and fresh. Not heavyweight - more ethereal. Lots of acidity. 17/20 points (7/2010)
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A very flavorful wine now in full maturity, the 1966 Ducru-Beaucaillou defines such wine adjectives as elegant, graceful, and well-bred. Medium dark ruby with an amber edge, the bouquet is spicy, cedary, and subtly herbaceous. Velvety, round, medium-bodied flavors exhibit good concentration. (RP)

Some recent comments:
/24/2017 - WINEAPPRECIATOR WROTE: 92 Points
Appearance: Still beautifully clear dark ruby red with very slight hints of bricking and orange hues
Nose: Cedar, pine, day old cigar, blackberry syrup; intriguing but also mildly repellent
Palate: Light, refined, linear, wizened but still structured and erect; very long finish and with more noticeable fruit on finish
After half hour onward: More forest floor on nose; palate is more integrated, with somewhat more substantial body, and somewhat greater expression of darker fruits; not perfectly enticing but still beautifully poised and refined.

A real treat to taste a 51 year old wine! It had definite brown at the edges, and was light and transparent. The nose was very delicate and complex, with light toasted oak and a touch of sherry. Soft flavors, light and elegant. Very enjoyable, but a bit past its prime. Purchased on release and properly stored.

great as usual, perfect partner to beef daube, improves with time in the decanter. no hurry for well stored bottles
2/18/2017 - ATBRIDGE WROTE:
Classic St Julien perfume, sweet cassis, and sandalwood. Incredible texture in the mouth, tans present but largely resolved. This is a true pleasure to drink.

2 hour decant, a great St. Julien from one of my favorite vintages - superb
