Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1982 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe u: all into neck, light wear and bin nicks to six capsule bases, light discoloration to seven labels, nicks to five labels resulting in light wrinkling and losses "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."
