Bid on this bottle of 1983 Ducru-Beaucaillou, St-Julien (94JG). John Gilman: "The 1983 Ducru-Beaucaillou is one of the finest wines of the vintage on either bank of the Gironde and it is now just starting to drink at its apogee. The utterly refined bouquet wafts from the glass in a mix of red and black cherries, a touch of nutskin, a beautiful base of gravelly soil tones, cigar ash, a touch of juniper berry and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is svelte, full-bodied and very pure on the attack, with excellent mid-palate depth, fine focus and grip, melting tannins and a long, complex and seamlessly balanced finish. This still has several decades of fine drinking ahead of it, but the 1983 Ducru is now entering its peak period and is an outstanding glass of claret. " (09/2020)
