From a great vintage that flies too far under the radar (it's certainly better then 2004, 2006, and 2007), the 2017 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou has that classic Ducru-Beaucaillou sense of purity and elegance, with medium to full-bodied richness and depth in its cassis and almost blue fruits as well as notes of cedary herbs, tobacco, and loamy earth. A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot raised in new oak, this balanced, endearing, mouth-filling 2017 deserves another 4-5 years of bottle age and will have another 40+ years of prime drinking.
