Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse 5eme Cru 2023

93–94+
/100

Koncentreret hindbær i næsen, drysset med hvid peber. Rødbede, violer, subtil underskov, kirsebær. Virkelig jordagtig og terroirpræget i næsen, plus denne søde hindbærfrugt med cassis. I munden med modne tanniner og elegant glans. Der er også ribs, og så en let mineralitet med et fint kalkstensgreb. Ikke fed, snarere dansende med krystalklar glans bagtil og anstændig længde. For mig lidt efter den noget længere og mere komplekse GPL.

Årgangsrapport

Bordeaux 2023 fra en eksperts perspektiv på et modent og tidligt drikkeligt år med elegante, smigrende og silkeagtige tanniner, en høj nydelsesfaktor og et saftigt drikkeflow: Stephane Derenoncourt, ønolog, konsulent på højre og venstre bred, vinmager, en levende legende i Bordeaux: "Tanninerne var modne og af høj kvalitet overalt. Druerne viste fuld teknologisk og fenolisk modenhed. Vinene fra denne årgang er generelt harmoniske og dynamiske." *** Thomas Duclos, førende konsulent og ønolog på højre bred: "Vi opdagede konstant nye ting i 2023-årgangen. Det ville ikke overraske mig, hvis nogle 2023-vine om nogle år viser sig at være bedre end 2022-vinene. Årgang 2023 er meget smigrende: vi har en behagelig blødhed i eftersmagen uden tyngde, elegante teksturer, overraskende silkeagtige..." *** Axel Marchal, førende professor i ønologi ved universitetet i Bordeaux: "På trods af de ekstreme vejrforhold har 2023-årgangen produceret vine med god balance og smukke syrenoter. Vinene er meget behagelige, ikke enormt koncentrerede, men lækre, runde og frugtagtige." *** Michel Rolland, ønolog og vingårdskonsulent og Bordeaux-veteran: "Det aromatiske potentiale var godt, med fremragende aromatisk intensitet og modne frugtsmage. 2023 er en årgang uden overskud og overdådighed. Behagelig, lækker og nem at drikke!

Decanter om: Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse 5eme Cru

This has a chewy and enjoyable expression and weight on the palate, ripe and filling but in a comforting way: fleshy black fruit and touches of mint and cedar spice with some black chocolate. All in balance, with charm and plenty to get stuck into. Bright acidity gives lift and there’s a stony minerality on the finish. A big upgrade from its en primeur showing.

Suckling om: Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse 5eme Cru

Currants, berries and spices with a fresh, elegant, herbal edge. Fine-grained on the palate, with creamy tannins and a structured, integrated finish. Vertical but pretty polished. 52% cabernet sauvignon, 44% merlot and 4% petit verdot. Drink from 2027.

Galloni om: Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse 5eme Cru

The 2023 Grand-Puy Ducasse is a real beauty. Aromatic and vibrant, with gorgeous mid-weight structure, the 2023 is seriously beautiful right out of the gate. Lavender, cloves, menthol, graphite, dried herbs and incense are all finely sketched in the glass. This energetic Pauillac is wonderfully rendered. What a delight.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse 5eme Cru

A classic, beautifully balanced wine, the 2023 Château Grand-Puy Ducasse checks in as 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, all brought up in a mix of new and used barrels. Its deep purple hue is followed by classy and classic Pauillac darker currant fruits intermixed with notes of smoky tobacco, freshly sharpened pencils, and spicy wood. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has the vintage's charming, rounded, yet nicely concentrated mouthfeel and outstanding length. It has some charm even today yet will probably hit its early drinking window in 5-7 years and keep for 30 years or more if well stored. Drink 2031-2055.

The Wine Palate om: Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse 5eme Cru

The 2023 Grand‑Puy Ducasse has a deep garnet‑purple color. It requires a fair bit of swirling to unlock notes of juicy blackberries and blackcurrant cordial, opening out to hints of bay leaves, pencil lead, and fertile loam. The medium‑bodied palate is tightly wound with bright, expressive black‑fruit layers, supported by firm, grainy tannins and great tension, finishing long and savory.

Jane Anson om: Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse 5eme Cru

Inky plum colour, loaded up with Left Bank cassis and inky black fruits, crayon and liqourice root, balanced and sappy, but not giving too much away at the same time. A sign that this is becoming an estate to watch in Pauiillac, got to be one of the values of the vintage. Benjamin Cassoulet is the technical director from 2021.

Neal Martin om: Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse 5eme Cru

The 2023 Grand Puy Ducasse has one of the most impressive bouquets encountered from this estate in a number of years: blackberry, cedar and light floral notes, with a hint of pencil shavings in the background. This is Pauillac through and through, with newfound conviction. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit, and a touch of dark chocolate and black pepper. There’s much more body and grip compared to previous vintages. Excellent. This may surpass their 2022.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse 5eme Cru

Espresso, mint, incense, flowers, currants, and licorice form the core the wine. On the palate, the fruits are fresh, chewy, and energetic, with a brightness to the finish, that's made even more refreshing with its sprig of mint. This should age for at least 2 decades with ease. Drink from 2029-2050. 92-94 Pts.
