Château Ducru Beaucaillou

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Croix de Beaucaillou Cuvée Colbert Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

Surprising tannin remains in this thirty year old tightly constructed claret. — 9 years ago

Château Clinet

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1995

Drank with the '95 Ducru. Also very nice, but also would benefit from more age. Ducru came across richer and more open. — 9 years ago

Dinner at Christophe Coperet's house. He opened some delicious bottles:
Champagne Tarlant - la matinale - 2003
Sauternes - Château Yquem - 1981 (this was ridiculously good)
St Julien - Château Branaire Ducru - 2008
St Julien - Château Talbot - 1998
St Julien - Château Beychevelle - 1988
Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "La Combe d'Orveau" - Domaine Henri Perrot Minot - 1998 (my favorite of the list)
Pouilly Fuisse - Domaine Corsin - 1998.

You can't go wrong with Bordeaux 09 & 10. It's like Napa 12 & 13

Château Terrey-Gros-Cailloux

St. Julien 2000

house with which I'm not familiar, now a part of Croix de Beaucaillou. At any rate, quite attractively evolved. #saintjulien #Bordeaux — 9 years ago

Classic Bord Rouge, at a great price. I have this weird suspicion it has a lot in common with Ducru Beaucaillou...just a thought. — 10 years ago

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1983

Very good - not much alcohol content left - no length - very watery - the Ducru is a better choice from the St Julien region in my opinion — 11 years ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Seamless and powerful. Pencil lead, chewy but smooth delicious and yummy. This is a nice contrast to the Ducru. Both are excellent but stylistically different. — 9 years ago

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

Still fresh and young looking and tasting. Elegant fruit with a a hint of chalk. Tasted much younger that Ducru Beaucaillou from same year. — 10 years ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1995

Stark contrast to the 95 Ducru. This is massive, dark fruit, tobacco, funk on the nose and body, very grippy tannins with a long long finish. — 11 years ago

Dang - one for Luders! Amazing cab blend! Never had- worth branching out for! I bet $ it was 2005 Ducru. — 12 years ago
