TESTING
I tasted the 1996 Ducru Beaucaillou on four separate occasions from bottle in
January. The 1996 is long, with a deep mid - palate. It also reveals tannin in the
finish. This wine is remarkable. This profound, backward Ducru-Beaucaillou is
a must purchase. It will be fascinating for readers who own the 1996 to follow
the evolution of this exceptional vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2008 - 2035. /
