The 1998 Ducru-Beaucaillou is a formidable ambassador for its appellation. It is a wine of great precision and elegance, which has reached remarkable maturity over the years.
The blend is typically composed of about 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25-30% Merlot, and small additions of Cabernet Franc or Petit Verdot.
It has a dense, deep purple color. The nose offers complex and layered aromas of black fruits (cassis, blackcurrant), minerals, tobacco, graphite, cedar, and a light hint of menthol on the finish. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with classic, silky, and well-integrated tannins, excellent acidity, and remarkable fruit purity. It is a superbly balanced wine with a long, persistent finish.
The 1998 vintage was praised for its longevity and was considered ready to drink between 2005 and 2025, benefiting from adequate decanting.
