Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1961 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe u: one high mid shoulder, one mid shoulder, good color and clarity to both, light wear to capsule tops (light oxidation to one), light bin wear to labels, light bin soil "Pale to medium brown-brick colored, the 1961 Ducru-Beaucaillou springs from the glass with notes of kirsch, raspberry preserves and dried mulberries plus wafts of sandalwood, menthol, aniseed and dried roses with a hint of black truffles. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with layers of dried red and black berries and tons of spice and floral sparks with a wonderfully plush texture and fantastically long, multilayered finish. A great bottle like this one satisfies all the style and quality expectations of a 1961, and then some." L.
