Sipping Fine Wine
Château is named after the beautiful, large stones found in its unique wine-growing terroir. Enticing aromas of complex fruits with flinty floral herb cedar scents. On the palate, this blend of 91% Cab Sauv & 9% Merlot shows big berry fruit flavors with smoky tones and underlying sweet notes. Fine tannins, balanced acidity, lingering big finish ending with round fruit and mineral notes. Tasting Sample.

The special second wine of the evening this Sunday night we have opened the 2012 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou. A special weekend with life long friends deserves a special wine. The aromas are of big dark fruit, black cherry, black raspberry, blueberry, black currant, licorice, graphite and a good soil component. On the palate are excellent notes of black cherry, black raspberry, black currant, green bell pepper, black pepper, graphite, a bit of oak, florals and a nice rich soil note. This wine is medium to full bodied with medium + acidity, medium + well rounded tannins that leads to a lengthy finish that is pleasing all the way through. An enjoyable wine now or will be even better in 10-15 years. Have a great week and please stay safe. Nostrovia!

Like a piece of beautiful raw wood. You know it is going to be a work of art with the right amount of time. Superior structure, I mean finish long, tannin gripping, acid prevalent, but layers of different flavors.

NR, lacking integration at this point and felt a little disjointed. The mid palate seemed a bit soft.

Oak, black fruits aroma. Deep, calm, elegant and makes me feel large potential. Just 2012 in 2019, but it can be enjoyable, very smooth. But I am feeling that it is difficult to find the real value from 2012 vintage. Good balance at really high level. @1200/100ml(7800), T Enoteca, 190310
