99-100 points James Suckling

This wine pairs well with fried appetizers or a charcuterie plate

Bold tannins frame a powerful mid-palate layered with mouth-filling flavors of ripe blackberry

Its spice and tannins have intgrated well with the black plum fruits and plum skin texture

This Carmenère is full of life and energy

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou - Madame de Beaucaillou Haut-Médoc 2019 (750ml) Bussieres 99-100 points James SucklingEntirely new wine this year from Ducru Beaucaillou plots in Haut Medoc (in Cussac Fort Mdoc, just over the border). This has a juicy balance, and round supple tannins, approachable but with ageing potential if you want to wait four or five years before opening. High levels of Petit Verdot help add spice and deepen the feel of the wine. 2% Cabernet Franc completes the blend.
