Ducru-Beaucaillou Very High Shoulder Fill- 1966 (1.5L) Private Collection apricot aroma on the noseA very flavorful wine now in full maturity, the 1966 Ducru Beaucaillou defines such wine adjectives as elegant, graceful, and well bred. Medium dark ruby with an amber edge, the bouquet is spicy, cedary, and subtly herbaceous. Velvety, round, medium bodied flavors exhibit good concentration. Drink it over the next 5 years. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 11 87. Robert Parker 87 points
