Awards "One of the Médoc's most powerful wines this year is the 2022 Ducru-Beaucaillou, a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Merlot that opens in the glass with aromas of dark cherries and berries mingled with pencils shavings, vanilla pod and spices. Full-bodied, broad-shouldered and muscular, with a core of ripe but lively fruit underpinned by a chassis of powdery, liberally extracted tannin that asserts itself on the finish, it's a punchy, modern Saint-Julien reminiscent of a hypothetical blend of the 2018 and 2020." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"A great, powerful and proportional Ducru with everything in the right place. The aromas and flavors are very precise and beautiful with blackberry, raspberry and citrus undertones. Full-bodied and structured, it has polished electric tannins that are finely layered, well formed and very long. Remains cool on the palate. 82% cabernet sauvignon and 18% merlot. Drink after 2029 but will age beautifully." - James Suckling

"Although this was a hot vintage, as Borie said, 'no one died in the streets of Paris [as they had done in 2003]'. It was their longest harvest in history, starting on 7 September and lasting 28 days. The Merlot was early and the Cabernet late. Even though the heat slowed down the accumulation of sugar in the berries, the tannins continued to ripen. 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot. Barrel sample. Inky crimson with black core. Dark, rich and intense aroma of ripe black fruit and some slight dark florals. Some coal dust. Black olive savour. Concentrated, dark, massively oaky and a little bit charry. Tannins are thick but not dry, smooth but dense. Exuberant underneath the oak. (JH)" - Jancis Robinson

"The 2022 Ducru-Beaucaillou is a wine of total sensual allure. All the elements are wonderfully woven together. Black cherry, plum, licorice, chocolate, spice and lavender infuse the palate with striking depth. The sustained, persistent finish is a thing of real beauty. Lifted floral accents extend the finish nicely." - Vinous

"Wonderfully evocative scents on the nose - perfumed and alluring dark berry fruit. Rich and juicy - fully concentrated fruit meets powdery tannins giving a fleshy aspect to the palate. Smooth and supple, slightly chewy fruit give a cushioning before crisp mineral aspects of wet stone, graphite and toasted liquorice come through. Fully flavoured with a long finish. A great wine that delivers the vintage in a stylish way." - Decanter
