Tasting this soon after the 2009 Fleur de Clinet, it seems that the second wines of the Bordeaux big brands are really good and are ready for drinking now in 2014.
This second wine of Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou was ready to drink almost right out of the bottle. Medium bodied and very pleasant. It is not a strong wine but is soft, fruity with a hint of sweetness. Goes well with some meats cooked Chinese style - like roast pork and suckling pig! At less than $80, I am glad I had bought a case of this. Let's see how it progresses.
