Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 2eme Cru 2005

Sort-rød, næsten sort i farven. Voluminøs næse. Let sødme. Noget udifferentieret. Meget voluminøs i munden, meget overfladisk, tyk frugt. Ekstremt højt Merlot-indhold i år, hvilket er godt for mængden og tykkelsen, men desværre på bekostning af finessen i lyset af et fremragende Cabernet-år. Alt i alt en meget californisk vin, der slet ikke passer til årgangens polerede stil, selv om alle tanninerne er bløde som smør. Ingen skarp syre. Ekstremt rund. Noget som dette fra Californien, og det ville være fantastisk. Til Bordeaux i år, selv om den bestemt har klasse, finder jeg den lidt for tyk og rund, for meget Merlot, på trods af fremragende balance. 94-96+ -- WW: Ekstremt mørk farve, rig med violette refleksioner. Rig, enormt lagdelt bouquet, cedertræ, modne bær, sorte kirsebær, lakrids, masser af ædle træsorter. Kompleks, perfekt struktureret smag, masser af finesse i de modne, næsten silkeagtige tanniner, elegance og rigdom i perfekt harmoni, lys malt, tobak, sort te og igen et fascinerende samspil af ædle træsorter i eftersmagen. Den største Ducru i mange år. 98-100/100

The Wine Independent om: Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 2eme Cru

The 2005 Ducru-Beaucaillou, 63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Merlot, is deep garnet in color with a touch of brick. It needs a fair bit of shaking before it erupts with the most spectacular perfume of kirsch, warm cassis, rose oil, and licorice, followed by hints of unsmoked cigars, crushed rocks, and fragrant soil. The medium to full-bodied palate has a firm, grainy texture and compelling tension, beautifully framing the red and black fruit layers, and finishing with a firework display of floral and mineral notes. 98/100

Decanter om: Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 2eme Cru

A gorgeously silky, juicy and balanced glass of wine, this combines elegant richness of sweet cocoa and blackberry, with tons of power and a feeling of holding itself in check. This is signature St Julien, concentrated yet delicate, just an utterly lovely wine that has good acidity, with tannins that have melted into the rest of the structure and fruit that is still absolutely in control, followed by a saline edge to the finish. There's a long road ahead still, but this is a standout Ducru. 98/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 2eme Cru

The 2005 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is still stunning, with an incredible bouquet of ripe currants, spicy herbs, tobacco, and smoke, with a kiss of savory flowers in the background. Rich, full-bodied, and powerful on the palate, it has nicely integrated tannins, a layered mouthfeel, and awesome length on the finish. It's just now at the early stages of its prime drinking window and has another 30 years or so of prime drinking. 98/100

Parker om: Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 2eme Cru

The 2005 Ducru Beaucaillou is a 10,000-case blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Merlot (they used to produce 18,000-20,000 cases). It is an exceptionally powerful wine with a dense purple color, superb intensity, and a beautiful, sweet nose of spring flowers, raspberries, blueberries, graphite, and creme de cassis. Full-bodied with fabulous concentration, exceptionally high tannin, good acidity, and massive layers of richness that build incrementally on the palate, this monumental effort is more structured than their outstanding 2003. It may be the finest wine produced at this estate since the 1982 and 1961 Ducrus. 97/100
