Overraskende nok er næsen helt domineret af Merlot. Masser af sorte kirsebær med appelsinskal og mango. Utrolig fin, men meget æterisk og velduftende. Men ikke sød, bare delikat og legende. Intens på samme tid. Sikke en elegant duft! Burgundisk og rig. En intens mund med en bred vifte. Sorte kirsebær, høj syre, intens, salt karamel, sød lakridsfinish. Tydelig lakrids og violer i munden. Totalt poleret, ingen bitterhed overhovedet. Tanninerne er bløde og silkeagtige. En Ducru-Beaucaillou, der kører perfekt på finesse. Det er ikke en af mine vine i årgangen, men det er en ekstremt god vin. Måske lidt foran Léoville Barton og Léoville Poyferré. Og næsten på niveau med Las Cases, lidt efter. Ikke desto mindre kommer ingen Saint-Julien i 2019 i nærheden af de bedste vine fra Saint-Estèphe, Pauillac og Margaux. Ikke desto mindre en ret perfekt Ducru-Beaucaillou. 100/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 2eme Cru

The wine of the vintage in Saint-Julien, if not all of the Médoc, the 2019 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is based on 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, aged in 100% new French oak, that hit a natural alcohol of 14.2% with a monster IPT (number of tannins) of 88. It's certainly one of the most concentrated Saint-Juliens, revealing a dense purple hue to go with a stacked bouquet of crème de cassis, freshly sharpened pencils, damp clay, tobacco, and hints of spring flowers. Concentrated, full-bodied, and powerful, it has incredible tannins, flawless balance, and a gorgeous finish. While most estates today are playing it safe and producing more ethereal, elegant wines that drink well right out of the gate, thankfully, this estate continues to make concentrated, powerful, age-worthy wines, and this heavenly beauty is as good as it gets! It will need a decade of bottle age to hit the early stages of maturity and will evolve for 50 years or more. Bravo to Bruno Borie! 100/100

Suckling om: Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 2eme Cru

A very powerful Ducru with intense tannins and backbone, showing blue fruit, black tea and tobacco. Full-bodied with impressive structure and so much tannin. It goes on for minutes. Very traditional. Owner Bruno Borie said it is a wine to last forever and I have to agree. 80% cabernet sauvignon and 20% merlot. 99-100

The Wine Independent om: Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 2eme Cru

A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, the 2019 Ducru-Beaucaillou is deep garnet-purple in color. It has closed a little since last tasting a few months ago, requiring considerable shaking to bring out notes of blackcurrant pastilles, redcurrant jelly, and wild blueberries plus hints of lilacs, mocha, and black olives. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with bright, vibrant, black fruit with a lively backbone and very fine-grained tannins, finishing long and fragrant. This is beautiful! 99/100

Deep, dark almost opaque in color, the wine is packed to the gills with smoke, flowers, black currants, bitter chocolate and black cherries, Full-bodied, intense, concentrated and palate coating, everything is in perfect harmony here, Long, lush, opulent and most importantly, with this gorgeous sense of purity to the fruits and chocolate overtones, the finish passes the 60-second mark with ease. The blend was made with 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot and is aging in 100% new, French oak barrels. The wine reached 14.2% alcohol with a pH of 3.8. The harvest took place from September 20 to October 3. A nice tidbit for you, the Cabernet was harvested in only 3 days, October 1-3 with 180 pickers. The Grand Vin was produced from only 27% of the harvest with yields averaging 35 hectoliters per hectare. 98-100/100

Parker om: Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 2eme Cru

This year the blend is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot. The alcohol weighed in at 14.2%, while the pH is 3.8 and the IPT is 88. It will mature for 18 months in French oak barrels, 100% new. Opaque purple-black in color, the 2019 Ducru-Beaucaillou explodes from the glass with bombastic notes of crème de cassis, blueberry pie and plum preserves plus hints of candied violets, dark chocolate, licorice, wild fungi, crushed rocks and tilled soil with a touch of mossy bark. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is a tightly wound coil poised to spring out with layer upon layer of minerals, rich black fruits and floral notes, framed by very firm, exquisitely ripe tannins and electric freshness, finishing long and incredibly layered. WOW! 97-100/100
