Hedonistic St Julien…
Posted by Julian Campbell, Buyer
The big news this morning is the release of one of the shinning lights of St Julien, Ducru Beaucaillou. Bruno Borie's wonderful estate is producing fabulous wines. It has been their ambition to make a wine of first growth quality, and the 2008 certainly rivals the big five. This is a monumental Ducru, boasting enormous power, concentration and weight as well as offering complexity and finesse. Kudos to Bruno for producing one of the outstanding wines of the vintage and a worthy successor to his outstanding 2005.
