Château Ducru-Beaucaillou is a 2nd. classed growth from the appellation of Saint-Julien in the Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux. This wine is widely regarded as one of the very best of the second growths and is known for its elegance rather than for a fleshy fruitiness. The 1978 is now a brick-red colour with some browning on the rim. It possesses a very mature earthy nose with cedar and tobacco which follows on through to the palate along with red fruits and a meaty savouriness. The tannins are very supple and the finish still very good especially for a wine of this age.
