Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1985
Supple yet full-bodied, a typically fine Saint Julien needs 8-10 years to reveal its rich and fruity, elegant flavors of cassis, vanilla, and ripe blackberries.
Critical Acclaim
90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Proprietor Bruno Borie mentioned that this was a late vintage. They started to pick on 30th September, finishing on 11th October. He didn't have exact grape percentages for this year, but he thinks it is probably 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. Pale to medium brick-brown colored, the 1985 Ducru-Beaucaillou slowly unfurls to reveal notes of Christmas pudding, dried cranberries, and bouquet garni with nuances of cast iron pan, dusty soil, and woodsmoke. Medium-bodied, the palate has a firm, chewy backbone and oodles of freshness with a core of dried herbs and stewed tea and a slightly rustic finish.
