Lisa Perrotti-Brown: There was no frost at Ducru-Beaucaillou in2017 due to its proximity to the estuary. This barrel sample comesfrom the final blend, which was made in early 2018. Composed of 90%Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot and sporting a deep garnet-purplecolor, the 2017 Ducru-Beaucaillou is intensely scented ofblackcurrant cordial, blackberries and lavender with hints ofcrushed rocks, iron ore, rose hips and Provence herbs plus touchesof wood smoke and sandalwood. Medium-bodied, very firm and grainyin the mouth, it possesses lovely freshness, lifting the intenseflavors, finishing long and minerally. Sporting an incredible coreof muscular mid-palate fruit, this wine should age incredibly.
