James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 2017 Saint Julien im Dezember 2019:Attractive. intense aromas of ripe blueberries. currants and more savory. tarry notes. as well as iodine. violets and cassis. The palate has a supple and succulent feel. This is cabernet in outright seductive mode. offering such fluid tannins and mouth-filling length. A blend of 90% cabernet sauvignon and 10% merlot. One of the stars of the vintage. Drink or hold.
Lisa Perrotti Brown im März 2020: Deep purple-black in color, the 2017 Ducru-Beaucaillou slowly unfurls to reveal beautifully fragrant notes of warm kirsch, wild blueberries, fresh red and black currants and violets with wafts of underbrush and Earl Grey tea. Medium-bodied, the palate has great freshness and elegance, with very well-played, plush tannins and bags of perfumed fruit, finishing on a lingering spicy note. The wine was aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels. The blend is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot.
Antonio Galloni im März 2020: The 2017 Ducru-Beaucaillou is racy, deep and opulently beautiful. In 2017, Ducru is very red-fruited and floral, with tons of inner sweetness and nuance to match its sumptuous, exotic personality. Mint, spice, chocolate and licorice accents add character as the 2017 gains brightness, aromatic purity and detail with a bit of air. Bruno Borie gave the 2017 18 months in 100% new oak. Along with Beychevelle, Ducru is the most flamboyant wine in Saint-Julien. Tasted two times.
Jeb Dunnuck im Februar 2020:One of the wines of the vintage in the Medoc, the 2017 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou comes from 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot from tiny yields of 35 hectoliters per hectare. Brought up in new barrels, it offers stunning notes of pure creme de cassis, unsmoked tobacco, lead pencil, and crushed rocks. Showing a touch of spring flowers with air, full-bodied richness and depth, awesome tannin quality, and a laser-like level of precision and purity, it’s going to need a decade of cellaring yet will have 40-50 years of prime drinking. Hats off to proprietor Bruno Borie for another magical wine.
Lisa Perotti Brown bewertet das Fassmuster am 27.04.2018 in der Ausgabe 236 des Wine Advocate wie folgt: There was no frost at Ducru-Beaucaillou in 2017 due to its proximity to the estuary. This barrel sample comes from the final blend. which was made in early 2018. Composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot and sporting a deep garnet-purple color. the 2017 Ducru-Beaucaillou is intensely scented of blackcurrant cordial. blackberries and lavender with hints of crushed rocks. iron ore. rose hips and Provence herbs plus touches of wood smoke and sandalwood. Medium-bodied. very firm and grainy in the mouth. it possesses lovely freshness. lifting the intense flavors. finishing long and minerally. Sporting an incredible core of muscular mid-palate fruit. this wine should age incredibly.

es Suckling bewertet das Fassmuster am Donnerstag. den 05. April 2018 wie folgt:Holy.... This is so powerful and dense with amazing depth of fruit and beautifully ripe tannins tannins. Full body. layers of fruit and tannins. It’s has a long finish but then kicks off at the end. Remains classic in style.
Das Team von Vinous bewertet das Fassmuster im Mai 2018 wie folgt:The 2017 Ducru-Beaucaillou is distinctly sleek and polished. with a real air of sensuality. Finessed and racy to the core. the 2017 is all about elegance rather than the power that informed both the 2015 and 2016. Red-toned fruit. plush texture and silky tannins all contribute to the wine's restrained feel. A host of floral notes add brightness as the wine opens up in the glass. There is so much to like in the 2017. The blend is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot.
Der Winespectator bewertet das Fassmuster in 2018 wie folgt:This has a warm and inviting feel. with mocha. Christmas pudding and blackberry and plum compote aromas and flavors flowing through atop fleshy. velvety structure. There's a graphite edge along with some alluring spice accents. and this stays polished and lengthy in the end. Score range: 93-96 JM
