Château La Croix Beaucaillou
Well balanced, powerful fruit and good tannic structure. Maturity within 3 to 5 years. After traditional hand-picking, each of the grape varieties is fermented separately and then aged in oak barrels. Depending on the vintage, the barrel aging lasts 20 to 24 months.
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!
