The 1959 Ducru-Beaucaillou has a medium to deep brick color with a touch of brown. Upon the very first sniff, a blast of exotic scents shoots out at full throttle with fantastically intense notes of preserved Morello cherries, Black Forest cake, gingerbread, dark chocolate and Christmas cake, followed by wafts of potpourri, aniseed, woodsmoke and incense plus the most beguiling suggestions of rose oil and orange peel. Medium to full-bodied, the palate packs a powerful punch of rich red and black berry preserves layers, featuring a veritable fireworks display of floral and exotic spice notes, finishing, many minutes later, with long-lingering savory suggestions. Exhilarating, electrifying, hedonic. This is what it is all about. 2020 - 2059
