"This is the second label of one of the “Super Seconds” Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. Plush and rich with layers of mocha, tobacco, cedar and deep black fruit, a classic Bordeaux! A perennial favorite sure to impress any discerning palate."
David Zinman - Manager
Wine Advocate
The second wine, the sensational 2005 Croix de Beaucaillou, is the finest example of this cuvee I have ever tasted. Sweet black raspberry and black cherry fruit aromas soar from the glass of this open-knit seductress. A dense ruby/purple color, beautiful full-bodied, lush, expansive flavors, low acidity, and sweet tannin suggest this lovely cuvee should be drunk over the next 12-13 years. It is an amazing sleeper of the vintage!
Score: 91. —Robert Parker, April 2008.Wine Spectator
Focused aromas of currants, berries and spices follow through to a full-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a long, balanced finish. Excellent second wine.
