Lot 132 , 1989 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint-Julien, France (3)

1989 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint-Julien, France (3) Critic tasting note: (1989 vintage) "From recorked bottles, this was a clean machine. I asked Bruno Borie how he found 2 clean bottles out of all the tainted bottles. He explained that during recorking, they destroyed all the tainted bottles, which was a massive percentage of the wines they had in their cellar. They saved just the good bottles. Medium bodied, tobacco, cassis, earth and cigar box driven, this bottle was all about its classic Bordeaux style and charm. This is fully mature. There is no reason to wait to pop a cork." - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
