96-98+ Parker: "Can the 2009 Ducru Beaucaillou be better than the brilliant 2000 and extraordinary 2003 and 2005? Purchasers will have to decide for themselves, but this compelling effort is one of the all-time great Ducru Beaucaillous. It is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot that achieved 13.5% natural alcohol, and, remarkably, despite the fact that 90% new oak was utilized, not a hint of wood can be found in either the aromatics or flavors. This inky/purple-hued, unctuously textured 2009 reveals layers and layers of blue, red, and black fruits, and hints of licorice and spice box. Despite its substantial, massive size, it retains an elegant style, but will need 3-5 years of cellaring. It should last for 40+ years. (Tasted once.)"
96-99 Winespectator: "This has an impressive powerful and hearty structure, with seductive floral, currant and licorice aromas and flavors, showing powerful tannins at the end. This sneaks up on you at the end. Structured and very, very powerful."
20 Weinwisser: "85 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 % Merlot. Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Überraschend wuchtiges Bouquet von schwarzen Kirschen, Brombeergelée, Trüffeln, Zedern und Black Currant, noble Süsse, sehr edel im Ansatz. Perfekter, feinseidiger Gaumen mit viel Schmelz und delikat-pfeffriger Rasse, viel Lakritz und Szechuanpfeffer im dicken, fetten Extrakt, im Finale 'schwarze' Aromen. Das volle Tanninpaket stützt den für einen Beaucaillou ungewöhnlich hohen Alkoholgehalt von 13,5 Vol.-%. Trinken: 2019 - 2050"
18,4 Decanter *****: "Black red, very smoky, really concentrated nose, lots of extraction, massively structured, certainly a most impressive wine, one of the blockbusters of the vintage. Drink 2017-30."
