Château Ducru-Beaucaillou
Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1995
Been wanting to try this for a while. Slightly raspy tannins with greener profile than the Pichon Longueville 86 or Latour 94, and drier finish. Light tannic grip and more green peppers on the nose. Good stuff. Can still keep. — 11 years ago

Yes, but since when is a 3rd label at the "top end"?!
I'd say the quality is "top", even if the price is lower than the 1st & 2nd labels & that juice didn't make it into those bottlings. No?
Top quality no doubt. Surprisingly so for a 3rd label, which was my initial point

I have always loved Graves. It is my favorite region in Bordeaux. I happened into a case of this wine rebuilding my cellar. There was 1 glass left to taste next to the 2000 Pichon Baron. This wine showed well. It is a solid 2nd wine with tobacco, mushroom, Forrest floor, intermixed with red fruits in moderate quantities. Balance is good, but the intensity is muted. A good value at the $50 per I paid at auction but not worth the going rate of $100. 89pts. — 10 years ago
