Tasting notes
The 2009 Ducru-Beaucaillou boasts a beautiful deep violet robe. In the mouth, it exhibits a thick and luscious structure, as well as dense, albeit velvety and elegant, tannins. Its fruit is at once rich and dazzling and its finish silky smooth and wonderfully persistent.
Vintage
The 2009 Ducru-Beaucaillou is a rich, generous, and luscious wine. Solid and voluptuously built around ripe and dense tannins, it is fruity and fresh, with a perfect acidity. Its finale is unending and sensual.
To poetically describe this wine, one could compare it, if it were music, to a beautiful piece of "languorous soul"; were it an icon, it would evoke Beyonce Knowles in a gold and deep red satin evening dress.
The 2009 vintage is referred to as a post-crisis year because:
Its wines will be consumed long after the present crisis will have been forgotten
It is a modern vintage (both ethically and in the techniques used to produce it) and it perfectly illustrates the motto, famous amongst economists, that goes: "Crises separates new from old": 2009 is indeed the post-crisis vintage!
