Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker, Jancis Robinson, and Suckling

Deep purple-black in color, the 2017 Ducru-Beaucaillou slowly unfurls to reveal beautifully fragrant notes of warm kirsch, wild blueberries, fresh red and black currants and violets with wafts of underbrush and Earl Grey tea. Medium-bodied, the palate has great freshness and elegance, with very well-played, plush tannins and bags of perfumed fruit, finishing on a lingering spicy note. The wine was aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels. The blend is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot.

— Lisa Perrotti-Brown (16/03/2020)Robert Parker Wine Advocate Vintage 2017 - 96+ PARKER

Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Quite mineral and cool on the nose – there is a leafy edge of pencil shavings against fresh blackcurrant. Vibrant, lively fruit on the palate – a mix of red and black fruit together. The structure is sinewy, promoting more of the leafy, graphite tones. This is chiselled and firm for now, it will require patience.

— Tom Parker (16/09/2021)JancisRobinson.com Vintage 2017 - 16.5 JANCIS ROBINSON

Attractive, intense aromas of ripe blueberries, currants and more savory, tarry notes, as well as iodine, violets and cassis. The palate has a supple and succulent feel. This is cabernet in outright seductive mode, offering such fluid tannins and mouth-filling length. A blend of 90% cabernet sauvignon and 10% merlot. One of the stars of the vintage. Drink or hold.
