Tasting notes for the wine Château Ducru-Beaucaillou Croix de Beaucaillou 2004 To the eye – A garnet red robe with tawny highlights, dense and luminous, revealing a generous substance and velvety texture. On the nose – Aromas of ripe blackcurrant and wild blackberry, followed by notes of cedar, blond tobacco, and a saline touch, like a sea breeze over the Médoc gravels. On the palate – A silky attack, carried by a lively acidity and chalky minerality, stretching into a long, taut finish where sweet spices and melted tannins intertwine.
