Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
scraped capsule.

CHÂTEAU DUCRU-BEAUCAILLOU 1982 (3)

Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 1 x vts. 3 x soiled & marked labels. 1 x peeling label. 3 x wrinkled capsules.

It exhibits a dense ruby/plum/garnet color to the rim as well as a sweet perfume of forest floor, spice box, cedar, and copious quantities of black fruits. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully pure with sweet tannins, this wine has aged more slowly than I initially expected. It is the finest Ducru Beaucaillou produced after the 1961 and before the 2003. June 2009. WA 96

3 bts. & 1 mag.    per lot $1,600 - $1,800

Realised: $3,072
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
