"Subtle yet aromatic character of Indian spices, currants and dried cherries. Full-bodied, with super well-integrated tannins and a long, caressing finish. Wonderful texture. Classy and structured. Long. This was wine of the year in 1998; well deserved."(95pts WS)

Vintage 1995, Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou, St. Julien, 3 into neck (3 750 ml)
