The 1998 Ducru-Beaucaillou is an outstanding ambassador for its appellation. It is a wine of great precision and elegance that has achieved remarkable maturity over the years.
The blend typically consists of about 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25–30% Merlot, and small amounts of Cabernet Franc or Petit Verdot.
It displays a deep, dense violet color. On the nose, it offers complex and layered aromas of black fruits (cassis, black currant), minerals, tobacco, graphite, cedar, and a slight hint of menthol on the finish. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with classic, silky, and well-integrated tannins, excellent acidity, and remarkable fruitiness. It is a wine that exhibits superb balance, with a long and lingering finish.
The 1998 vintage was praised for its longevity and was considered ready to drink between 2005 and 2025, although proper decanting was recommended.
