Ducru-Beaucaillou - 1998 (750ml) Macabeo and not to linger overA supremely elegant, dense purple colored effort, the 1998 reveals aromas of cassis, black raspberries, minerals, and currants. Precise, well delineated, and medium to full bodied, with magnificent purity and understated elegance, this noble, restrained wine reveals a tannic finish, suggesting 4 5 more years of cellaring is warranted. Anticipated maturity: 2005 2025. Robert Parker 91 points
