Good full medium red. Pure, vibrant, captivating nose combines raspberry, garrigue, lavender and pepper. Then lush, broad and silky in the mouth, with a distinctly savory quality leavening the wine's inherent sweetness. In fact, this is more noteworthy for its energy and structure than for weight or thickness. Finishes with suave, fine-grained tannins, outstanding subtle lingering perfume and a light touch. Classic, gripping Chateauneuf du Pape with a long future ahead of it. I underrated this wine at the outset, and I believe Pierre Sabon did as well when he described it in the early going as "rounder and fatter than the 1999."
2003 Croix de Beaucaillou (Saint-Julien) - One (1) 750ml bottle.
While most Bordeaux chateaus used to be inhabited by the owners and winemakers, Ducru-Beaucaillou is now in the minority, especially for those that produce a grand cru classé wine. The Borie family, who has owned this Second Growth estate in Saint-Julien for the last sixty years, still resides on the estate. They are know for producing a wonderfully fragrant, heavily Cabernet-influenced wine with superb cellaring potential. The best vintages offer dramatic perfume of black fruits, cedar, coconut and flowers. The name of the estate references the beautiful large pebbles that mark its terroir, and these stones aid with heat-retention, sun-reflection, and soil drainage.
