2005 Chateau Grand-Puy Ducasse, Pauillac, France
$177.99 USD
Rated 91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Another 'best ever' performance, the Grand-Puy-Ducasse is made in a charming style for a 2005 Pauillac. This deep ruby-hued, very concentrated, precocious, showy effort displays copious quantities of sweet oak intermixed with black cherries, black currants, velvety tannins, medium body, and loads of fruit. It can be drunk now or cellared for 15-20 years. (RP)
