Château Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint-Julien 2016

Origin: Saint-Julien, Bordeaux, France
Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot

Tasting Notes:
Very deep purple-black in color, the 2016 Ducru-Beaucaillou delivers a pronounced, enticing nose of baked plums, blueberry preserves, fruitcake and boysenberry with suggestions of lilacs, mocha, hoisin and exotic spices plus a waft of cedar chest. Full-bodied, rich and opulent in the mouth, the palate has layer upon layer of black fruit preserves and spicy nuances, matched by a very firm, grainy frame, finishing with epic length and depth.
