The Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1500ml 1999 is a beautifully crafted wine from the renowned Saint-Julien region of Bordeaux, France. This vintage of 1999 showcases the expertise and dedication of Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou, a historic producer of exceptional wines.
Upon pouring, the wine presents a deep ruby red colour with a slight garnet hue, indicating its age and complexity. On the nose, aromas of ripe dark berries, cassis, and a hint of tobacco greet the senses, followed by subtle notes of vanilla and cedar from the oak aging.

Huon Hooke - The Real Review
A superb wine. Delicious. Cassis and assorted berries, fruit-sweet, seamless and marvellously balanced. Just beautiful. (13% alc.)

Yohan Castaing - Decanter
The 1999 Ducru-Beaucaillou offers aromas of raspberry, plum, black cherry, and mocha intertwined with grilled aromas. This juicy wine possesses a sappy texture, firm tannins and a long and penetrating finish with sous bois aromas. Fine-grained tannins will allow five more years in the cellar.

I love the aromas of chocolate, walnut, dark berries and flowers. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and a fresh, fruity finish. The mouthfeel is wonderful. Really silky. Just coming around now. Yes.--'89/'99 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2009).
