Tasting Notes
One of the Médoc´s most powerful wines this year is the 2022 Ducru-Beaucaillou, a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Merlot that opens in the glass with aromas of dark cherries and berries mingled with pencils shavings, vanilla pod and spices. Full-bodied, broad-shouldered and muscular, with a core of ripe but lively fruit underpinned by a chassis of powdery, liberally extracted tannin that asserts itself on the finish, it´s a punchy, modern Saint-Julien reminiscent of a hypothetical blend of the 2018 and 2020.
Score: 94-96 William Kelley (WK), The Wine Advocate (WA), April 2023
