1978 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou 750ml

Reviews: 93 points Wine Advocate, "...offering up aromas of sweet red berry fruit, cigar box, licorice and loamy soil, followed by a medium-bodied, velvety and melting palate that's deep and seamless, marrying intensity of flavor with weightlessness. (WK)" 93 points John Gilman, "...offering up a complex and very classic nose of cherries, a touch of juniper berry, cigar wrapper, a fine signature of soil, summer truffles and a topnote of nutskin. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and still shows lovely depth at the core, with impressive focus and grip, lovely balance and a long, tangy finish that still sports a touch of tannin on the closing notes. (JG)"
