It has a supple texture right off the bat, just enough pencil lead, mocha, blackberries and savoury bilberry fruits to show a St-Julien signature. It has the dominant tannins of the vintage, but they are softened, this is plush through the mid palate with clear tightening on the finish. 30% new oak 3.68pH. A yield of 25hl\/ha. Second vintage under this name and it remains a compelling choice in the appellation.\u003cbr\u003e\nBarrel Sample: 92\u003cbr\u003e\n92Vinous\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 2020 Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou, matured in 30% new oak for 12 months, is delineated on the nose with blackberry, wild hedgerow and a discrete marine\/estuarine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and well judged acidity. It displays some \"rondeur\" towards the finish that suggests it will drink well after just a couple of years, yet there is certainly the substance to guarantee it will age well in the cellar, if you are that way inclined. -Neal Martin\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48608985710816,"sku":"131365","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/chateau-ducru-beaucaillou-le-petit-ducru-de-ducru-beaucaillou-saint-julien_1.jpg?v=1769552126","url":"https:\/\/yianniswinery.com\/products\/chateau-ducru-beaucaillou-le-petit-ducru-de-ducru-beaucaillou-saint-julien-2020-750ml","provider":"Yiannis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
