Note di degustazione
The 2005 Grand-Puy Ducasse, from magnum, has a tertiary nose with cigar smoke, lavender and old school desk aromas on the nose. It feels a bit more mature than you would expect for a 2005 but it grows on you. The palate is broad-shouldered with firm grip, well-judged acidity and a cedar-infused, sinewy finish. This is a bit uncouth but enjoyable. Tasted at the Grand-Puy Ducasse event in London.

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot. Magnum. Ripe fruit but a strong sucky stony element on the end. (JR)
Tasted blind. Dark purplish crimson. Fresh nose. Lots of sweet Cabernet fruit. Relatively light tannins. Crisp finish. (JR)
Informazioni sul produttore
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.
