Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 97
"The harvest lasted 16 days from the 16th September,' proprietor Bruno Borie mentioned about the 1982 Ducru-Beaucaillou. Medium brick colored, it comes galloping out of the glass with bold, expressive notes of Black Forest cake, preserved plums and mincemeat pie with hints of cigar box, star anise, eucalyptus and espresso plus wafts of roasted nuts and iron ore. Medium to full-bodied, generous and opulent, the palate has beautifully ripe, fine-grained tannins and tons of youthful fruit, finishing with epically long-lasting layers of preserved black fruits and exotic spices."

"A gorgeous nose, really quite perfumed and fragrant with jasmine and strawberry aromas. Full and thrilling on the palate, I love the style and sense of life - this has muscles and sinewy tannins, thick almost in terms of texture. So assured, racy, bright and vibrant with high acidity giving the tang. Sour cherries, vanilla, cola, baked pies and salty stones that linger on the finish. Certainly the most charged of the tasting up to this point - a marked increase in flesh and brute power. Firm, solid and still with a lot of life to go."
