The 1996 is long, with a deep mid-palate. It also reveals tannin in the finish. This wine is remarkable. It is muscular, concentrated, and classic. Bottled in late June, 1998, it exhibits a saturated ruby\/purple color, as well as a knock-out nose of minerals, licorice, cassis, and an unmistakable lead pencil smell that I often associate with top vintages of Lafite Rothschild. It is sweet and full-bodied, yet unbelievably rich with no sense of heaviness or flabbiness. The wine possesses high tannin, but it is extremely ripe, and the sweetness of the black currant, spice-tinged Cabernet Sauvignon fruit is pronounced. This profound, backward Ducru-Beaucaillou is a must purchase. It will be fascinating for readers who own the 1996 to follow the evolution of this exceptional vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2035.","brand":"GRW Wine Collection","offers":[{"title":"750mL","offer_id":53196297699488,"sku":"BDX:DUC:DUCR-0750-1996-F0L0C0","price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/0003\/8027\/files\/DucruBeaucaillou1996750mL.jpg?v=1748546874","url":"https:\/\/grwwine.com\/products\/ducru-beaucaillou-1996-750ml","provider":"GRW Wine Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
