Château Ducru-Beaucaillou
Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2000
By far the best showing I’ve seen from this 2000. Astonishing purity of fruit, compelling aromatics and a long, full, silky finish. Graphite, violet, rich plum tobacco. Just loved every single thing about it. — 5 years ago
@Bill Bender I have a birth year bottle (1970) I plan on opening Friday. Any suggestions?!? Wish me luck with the cork #50inquarantine
The recent Cellar Tracker (Corkz) notes on the ‘70 Ducru are oustanding @Kirk F stand up today, pop Friday, strain sediment and enjoy that big birthday. The uninvited AARP magazine will arrive in your mailbox in 6 months. Cheers and HBD 🍷🍷🎂

Special birth year bottle for a milestone birthday this week. The cork was almost entirely intact and we double decanted to catch all the sediment. A beautiful brick color in the glass, evolving over 4 hours and drinking nicely. Plenty of fruit left and I also picked up a little salinity/olive savoriness. Glad a few friends popped by to share this with me #50inquarantine #socialdistancing 🍷😷🙌🏻 — 5 years ago
