Produced from the youngest vines at this classed growth estate, this wine has good balance between perfumed wood aging and buoyant black fruits. The tannins and dense structure promise aging although the wine is likely to develop relatively quickly as befits a second wine

Polished aromas of blueberries, baked cherries, cocoa butter and vanilla. It's medium-bodied with velvety tannins. Soft and creamy. Nice balance. Second wine.

The 2018 Grand-Puy-Ducasse is deep garnet-purple in color and has quite a lot of cedar/oak on the nose to begin, opening out to a core of warm black and red currants, stewed plums and mulberries with touches of pencil shavings, fried herbs, lavender and tapenade. Medium to full-bodied, the palate gives a firm, grainy frame with some chew from the oak and fresh, crunchy red and black fruit, finishing savory.
