The 1966 Ducru-Beaucaillou, tasted at the chateau, is pale brick in color. It offers up delicate scents of tobacco leaf, dried cranberries, dates, potpourri, and dusty soil with underlying hints of dried herbs and wood smoke. The medium-bodied palate is light on its feet, with powdery tannins and a refreshing line, leading to a fragrant earth note on the finish of this pretty wine. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
