Château Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1985
For sheer elegance, charm, and finesse, the 1985 Ducru-Beaucaillou has it all. The wine is close to full maturity, yet retains a vibrancy and youthfulness that is unusual for a 1985. The generous flavors are soft, but not flabby. The wine possesses outstanding concentration yet is elegant and refreshing. This is a beautifully knit, harmonious Ducru. Robert Parker

#1985 #ChateauDucruBeaucaillou (one of the oldest Bordeaux Wine producing Estates in the Medoc & named after the Large Stones that cover their unique soil!) Salty Goodness, Tobacco, Blackberry, Cassis, Red Cherry, Black Plum... Vinified in stainless steel vats. This wine glides down your throat. A very smooth ride. :)

85 is apparently the year for this wine. Couldn't be more smooth, yet bursting with rich flavor. The taste lingers ever so slightly making you wish it would never end.

Not the most regarded vintage but a great tension, superb freshness and a fruit just ripe. Cedar, mushroom
