Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint Julien Grand Cru 2009 (Bordeaux, Saint Julien, France) - [RP 100] [JS 97] [WS 96] [WE 96] [ST 95+]

About This Wine:The 2009 Ducru-Beaucaillou is a rich, generous, and luscious wine. Solid and voluptuously built around ripe and dense tannins, it is fruity and fresh, with a perfect acidity. Its finale is unending and sensual.To poetically describe this wine, one could compare it, if it were music, to a beautiful piece of "languorous soul"; were it an icon, it would evoke Beyonce Knowles in a gold and deep red satin evening dress.The 2009 vintage is referred to as a post-crisis year because:Its wines will be consumed long after the present crisis will have been forgotten It is a modern vintage (both ethically and in the techniques used to produce it) and it perfectly illustrates the motto, famous amongst economists, that goes: "Crises separates new from old": 2009 is indeed the post-crisis vintage!The 2009 Ducru-Beaucaillou is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot.   Ratings & Reviews 100 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:"The 2009 Ducru Beaucaillou will eclipse
