La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou 2016
Deep garnet in colour, the 2016 La Croix Ducru Beaucaillou opens with a seductive bouquet of blackcurrant, crushed violets, and dark plum, interwoven with graphite, cedar, and subtle vanilla spice from new oak ageing. On the palate, it delivers richness and refinement in equal measure—full-bodied yet impeccably structured, with layers of ripe blackberry, cassis, and mocha supported by firm but polished tannins. The finish is long, savoury, and mineral-driven, showcasing Saint-Julien's hallmark finesse.
