This lot comprises eight bottles of 1986 vintage Château Ducru Beaucaillou from the Saint-Julien appellation in Bordeaux.

Saint-Julien is an appellation in Médoc by the Gironde estuary, adjacent to Pauillac. The predominant grape variety here is Cabernet Sauvignon and the wines are powerful, complex and long-lived. The wines from the northern part of the appellation are comparable to those from Pauillac, while in the south the wines tend to be more elegant like those from Margaux. In the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 there are no premier cru wine estates in Saint-Julien, although the best grand crus of the region, including Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, would most likely be rated even higher today.

1986 was a very good vintage in Bordeaux, with tannin-rich wines that developed wonderfully over a long period of time. This wine will already be delicious, however it might still need a few years in order to fully mature.

The 1986 vintage Château Ducru Beaucaillou was last awarded 90+ points by Robert Parker. Swiss Bordeaux expert René Gabriel rated the wine 17 of 20 points. James Suckling for Wine Spectator rated the wine 95 points.

The fill levels are excellent (into neck). The labels are soiled and damaged. The capsules are in perfect condition.
