What the critics say
96 VMVinous, Neal Martin, 02-12-2025
The 1995 Ducru-Beaucaillou has a fabulous bouquet, complex and harmonious, very pure with scents of blackberry, cassis, violet and iris flower. It just blossoms in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with edgy tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Vibrant, deep and complex with gentle grip, it fans out wonderfully towards the finish. Outstanding. Tasted at the 1995 Bordeaux off-line at Piccolino in London and also Club Bâtard in Hong Kong.

94 WAWine Advocate, Robert Parker, 23-02-1998
This wine is of first-growth quality, not only from an intellectual perspective, but in its hedonistic characteristics. More open-knit and accessible than the extraordinary 1996, Ducru's 1995 exhibits a saturated ruby/purple color, followed by a knock-out nose of blueberry and black raspberry/cassis fruit intertwined with minerals, flowers, and subtle toasty new oak. Like its younger sibling, the wine possesses a sweet, rich mid-palate (from extract and ripeness, not sugar), layers of flavor, good delineation and grip, but generally unobtrusive tannin and acidity. It is a classic, compelling example of Ducru-Beaucaillou that should not be missed. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2025. It should be obvious to readers of my preliminary reports on both the 1995 and 1996 vintages that the family of Jean-Eugene Borie produced some of the greatest wines ever made at their respective chateaux - Ducru-Beaucaillou, Grand-Puy-Lacoste, and Haut-Batailley - in both 1995 and 1996. That has been confirmed once again in the bottled 1995s, and in the evolution of the powerhouse 1996s.
