WOTY

Wine Spectator Wine Of The Year a few years ago... the 1995 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou, St.-Julien is slightly closed... the nose is giving violets, graphite, and black currants with turned earth and tobacco on the palate. This wine is sweet... so soft and velvety (not unlike a great Margaux). A great wine, but it needs another 10 years.
