Proprietor Bruno Borie noted this was a somewhat unusual blend this year: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot. After this vintage, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot would no longer be included in the blend. Medium to deep brick in colour, the 1995 Ducru-Beaucaillou explodes from the glass with bombastic notes of Indian spices, plum preserves, fruitcake and dried figs with nuances of potpourri, star anise, bouquet garni and espresso. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock-full of exotic spices and preserved black fruits, framed by firm, finely grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing with epic impact and length. Mature and drinking well now, there's still a good 12-15 years of kick left in this thoroughbred.

Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot

Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot udgør et af verdens mest ikoniske og udbredte rødvinsblends – fundamentet for de klassiske Bordeaux‑vine og forbilledet for utallige tolkninger verden over. Kombinationen af Cabernet Sauvignons tanninrige struktur, syre og mørke frugt samt Merlots bløde, runde frugt og fyldige mundfølelse skaber vine med både dybde, balance og stort lagringspotentiale.

Smagsprofilen spænder typisk fra solbær, brombær og mørk kirsebær til mere subtile noter af blomme, ceder, tobak, vanilje og krydderi, især når blendet lagres på eg. Cabernet Sauvignon bidrager med struktur og kompleksitet, mens Merlot afrunder udtrykket med saftig frugt og en silkeblød fylde.

Blendet dyrkes i dag på tværs af den vinproducerende verden – fra Bordeaux til Australien, Chile, Californien og Sydafrika – hvor terroir og proportionerne mellem druerne giver unikke udtryk fra elegante og stramme til generøse og fyldige vine.
