The 1998 Ducru-Beaucaillou is a superb 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 has a deep, intense purple color. On the nose, it offers complex, layered aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, 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 fruit purity. It is a wine that displays superb balance, with a long and persistent finish.
The 1998 vintage has been praised for its longevity and is considered ready to drink between 2005 and 2025, provided it is properly decanted.
