Note di degustazione
Ruby red, raspberry leaf aromatics and oyster shell salinity that kicks in on the opening beats, with brambled fruits and finely-structured tannins. Unfussy and ready to drink, but in terms of being a classified Pauillac in such an exceptional vintage, it is disappointing.

The 2009 Grand-Puy Ducasse shows a small reduction at first, a slightly metallic note that fortunately ebbs away to reveal pleasant baked cherries, tobacco and light graphite aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin that feels a little drier than its peers. Slightly rustic in style with a conservative finish. Expected more. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.
Tasted blind. Very ripe nose – almost Châteauneuf-like! Big and bold. No shy, retiring flower. Decidedly brassy. Rather a hot finish. (JR)

The 40 hectares of this Pauillac Fifth Growth are spread across three sites, pieced together in the 18th century by Pierre Ducasse. Today owned by France’s Crédit Agricole bank, they have some very fine vineyard land, with their northernmost plot neighbouring Mouton and Lafite.
