Ch Ducru-Beaucaillou, Madame de Beaucaillou 2021 Haut-Médoc
16
71% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petit Verdot. Ex-Fourcas-Borie (in Listrac) with added fruit from Moulis and Cussac-Fort-Médoc. Cask sample.
Savoury and firm on the nose. Round, bright and succulent on the palate, the emphasis on the fruit. Structured and upright on the finish. Really quite delicious but for early-drinking pleasure. (JL)
