CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2022 Ducru-Beaucaillou was a "Leviathan" when I tasted it from barrel, to use my own vernacular. In bottle since the second week of July 2024, it has calmed down a little aromatically, with blackberry, bilberry, crushed stone and freshly rolled tobacco scents that emerge with time. Fine tannins frame the palate. This is far more linear than it showed out of barrel. It's stricter, with an almost Pauillac-like tannic structure (Ducru-Beaucaillou can sometimes bear this trait). Full of energy and quite persistent, with a grippy finish, this is a long-term prospect that is uncompromising in nature-I mean that in a good way.

Tasted blind. Dark and concentrated. Spicy, rich nose. Lots of tannin. The two elements are far from married! And there s a bit of coconut, too. Dramatic but not classic. (JR)
