Ducru-Beaucaillou - 1978 (750ml) Tuscany the 1986 continues to evolveAn outstanding 1978, Ducru Beaucaillou's effort displays a fragrant, well developed bouquet of licorice, earth, black currants, and underbrush. Rich for a 1978, with none of the vegetal character now found in many wines of this vintage, this fully mature, medium bodied wine exhibits soft tannin, excellent concentration and purity, and a sweet, elegant finish. Anticipated maturity: now 2010. Last tasted 3 97 Robert Parker 90 points
