1978 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou, Saint-Julien, Bottle (750ml) [Top Shoulder]

Description

“An outstanding 1978, Ducru-Beaucaillou’s effort displays a fragrant, well-developed bouquet of licorice, earth, black currants, and underbrush. Rich for a 1978, with none of the vegetal character now found in many wines of this vintage, this fully mature, medium-bodied wine exhibits soft tannin, excellent concentration and purity, and a sweet, elegant finish. (RP)” (December 1997)
