Her har vi en meget klassisk Pauillac fra den strålende 2016-årgang. Masser af elegant cassis, derefter brombær, violer og lakrids. Alt sammen køligt understøttet af fin mynte. Sort jord, mørk kakao og fint mærkbart nyt træ. Meget samlet og klar. Det er præcis sådan, det fortsætter i munden: fyldig cassis på en stram friskhed af surkirsebær, omgivet af markante tanniner. Nu meget velintegreret, hvilket ikke umiddelbart var tilfældet i dens ungdom. Kraftfuld med masser af stenet grafitmineralitet, fin lime og salt. Fin længde med en medium krop. Ikke en stor vin, men en meget harmonisk Pauillac med fin charme. Den er smuk!

International Wine Report om: Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse 5eme Cru

The 2016 Château Grand-Puy Ducasse is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. It starts off with vivid aromas of black and red currants along with cigar box and graphite nuances. Medium-bodied with firm tannin structure and lively acidity at its core. It shows notable tension and length on the finish. Overall, this is a beautifully crafted wine, but it will certainly require plenty of time to soften and become accessible. Readers should plan on tucking this away for at least 5 years before approacing.

Suckling om: Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse 5eme Cru

A linear and tight red with blueberries, currants and walnuts. Medium to full body, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. All there. Best wine from here in quite some time.

Parker om: Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse 5eme Cru

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.
