45 years in the making, yet still noble. A masterpiece of aged wine born in Saint-Julien.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
The 1981 vintage in Bordeaux is often overshadowed by the legendary 1982, yet top châteaux produced classic, long-lived wines. Ducru-Beaucaillou is one such example, and subsequent tastings have described it as "one of the greatest successes of the Médoc in 1981."
