Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou, 2eme Cru Classe, St Julien 2011 (1.5L)

"With tobacco, liquorice and dark chocolate scents, this remains powerful, with a mouthwatering saline finish. It doesn't feel anywhere near ready to open up yet. Impressive in a year that many dismissed after the two powerhouses that preceded it." - Decanter

"With thickly layered ganache, currant paste, fig sauce and blackberry confiture notes still grappling with one another, while briary grip and dark spice fill out the toast-fueled finish. Very long, showing a level of power that belies the vintage."- Wine Spectator
