high quality
this is a fabulous example of a Fleur de Gay and a wine that seems capable of lasting at least another two decades
I do believe this wine will develop an extraordinary perfume
and layers of jammy fruit nicely framed by the wine's new oak
The sheer palate-staining finishing intensity of berry concentrate brings some realization of the tannin underlying this powerful Cabernet
Ducru-Beaucaillou - 1998 (750ml) Size:750ml high qualityA supremely elegant, dense purple colored effort, the 1998 reveals aromas of cassis, black raspberries, minerals, and currants. Precise, well delineated, and medium to full bodied, with magnificent purity and understated elegance, this noble, restrained wine reveals a tannic finish, suggesting 4 5 more years of cellaring is warranted. Anticipated maturity: 2005 2025. Robert Parker 91 points
