2016 Chateau Grand-Puy Ducasse 5eme Cru Classe, Pauillac (6x75cl)

Wine Advocate : 89/100 | Vinous : – | JSWine : 92/100 | Commentaire Wine Advocate : The 2016 Grand-Puy-Ducasse follows up the 2015 with a 2016 that is equally good, marking–one hopes–a change in direction for this Pauillac estate that frustratingly under-performed in the past. This has a very attractive bouquet with pure blackberry and raspberry coulis aromas, just that hint of pencil lead leading you towards Pauillac. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, plenty of sappy black fruit and a hint of tar and graphite towards the persistent finish. This is an excellent “G.P.D” that should give a couple decades of drinking pleasure | Commentaire JS Wine : A medium-bodied and elegant Pauillac with fine, mixedcurrant aromas, polished tannins and a lively finish. Drink or hold.
