Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, Saint-Julien 2ème cru classé 2008 70 cl Firm yet creamyConsidered a star of the vintage, and highly praised in subsequent tastings, this is a plush, complex wine with fresh, ripe, opulent fruit, delicious, lengthy weight and intensity, and supple tannins that shape a long finish. You could drink it now as an indulgent match for a special meal, or in all probability cellar it until the 2030s.
