2019, Château Ducru Beaucaillou, SAINT-JULIEN, 2nd Growth, Grand Cru Classé (Babylonium) 36x Bottles

$18,000

 

The Ultimate Ducru Wine Experience - the 36 bottle (27 Litre) Babylonium bottle - Celebrating their very special 300th Birthday Anniversary.

The 2020 Ducru-Beaucaillou is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot, aging for approximately 18 months in 100% new barriques. It has a pH of 3.83, 13.5% alcohol and an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 90. Opaque purple-black colored, the nose slowly unfurls to reveal tantalizing scents of crushed blackcurrants, wild blueberries and boysenberries, leading to suggestions of chocolate mint, star anise, red roses and unsmoked cigars with a waft of cedar chest. The medium-bodied palate delivers impactful, muscular black fruits with a firm frame of ripe, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant. 95-97 Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate. Drinking Window: 2027 - 2052
