René Gabriel, WeinWisser: „Tiefes, dunkles Granat, violette Reflexe. Bewegendes Nasenbild, viel schwarze Kirschen, Korinthen, Rauch, Noblesse, schwarze Früchte und Edelhölzer, eine wunderschöne Terroiraromatik aufweisend, delikat angepasste Rösttöne und dunkle Toastnoten. Im Gaumen ein gebündeltes, immer noch schwarzbeerig bleibendes Finessenpaket, eine Klasse für sich, vom Tabak und von den Zedernholznoten her Ducru in reinkarnierter Form, wie ganz alte, grosse Ducru-Jahrgänge, nur von der Technik her noch brillanter, Alterungspotenzial von mindestens 40 Jahren, wird dabei die angestammte Jugendschönheit nie ganz verlieren. Eine grossartige Alternative zu den teuren Premiers. 19/20 Punkten.”

Parker: „Similar in style to the 1996, proprietor Bruno Borie continues to curtail yields, now producing just under 10,000 cases of the grand vin, and the rest of the production going into the increasingly high quality second wine, La Croix de Ducru Beaucaillou. The backward, tannic, dense purple-colored 2006 Ducru Beaucaillou offers sweet mineral-infused black cherry and cassis fruit interwoven with notions of graphite and truffles. Powerful, pure, rich, and intense, it should be at its peak between 2017-2035. 94-96 Punkte.”

Tanzer: „Deep medium ruby. Cool, refined aromas of black fruit pastille, licorice, minerals and violet, all lifted by a brisk peppery nuance. Dense, lush and fine-grained, with lovely definition to the flavors of black fruits, minerals, tobacco leaf and graphite. Still a bit youthfully clenched today, and less ripe than the 2005, but the substantial tannins are suave and fine. Wonderfully stylish wine that nonetheless has great backbone for a long evolution in bottle. This struck me as modern in style yet clearly Ducru-Beaucaillou. 91-94 points."

Wine Spectator: „Layered and rich, with lots of licorice and berry character. Turns to currants. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish. Very serious. Like it a lot. 1996 again. This is almost 95-100. 92-94 Punkte.”
