From a challenging, cooler, rainy vintage, the 2013 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou nevertheless is unquestionably an outstanding wine, revealing a translucent ruby hue with no bricking, classy currant, tobacco, cedar, and damp herb nuances, medium body, ripe, integrated tannins, and outstanding length. This classy, satisfying effort will evolve for another decade. Oct 2023

The 2013 Ducru-Beaucaillou has a straightforward, blackberry, mulch and balsamic-tinged bouquet that has a difficult time following the likes of 2014 and 2017. It feels a little one-dimensional by comparison. The palate is medium-bodied with simple black and red fruit, modest acidity, lightly spiced towards the finish. A pleasant Saint-Julien for sure, but it comes across as if the DNA of Ducru-Beaucaillou is fading with bottle age, a common trait amongst wines in this infamous growing season. Tasted at the Ducru Beaucaillou vertical at the château. Ju;y 2022
