Château Grand-Puy Ducasse 2010 is a full-bodied Cabernet-Sauvignon-based red wine produced in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. Grand-Puy Ducasse is a Fifth Growth Pauillac property still somewhat flying under the radar in relation to other more illustrious properties that it counts as neighbours. The 40 hectares of vineyards of Grand-Puy Ducasse are planted to 63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Merlot, producing a structured and complex Pauillac with very good ageing potential. "A wine with blueberry and chocolate with hints of hazelnut. Full body, with velvety tannins and a polished finish. This is intense yet very fine. Very pretty young Bordeaux." James Suckling, 2013
The 2010 Grand Puy Ducasse has a rather aloof and distant bouquet, a little austere with earthy black fruit, fresh tobacco and cigar box, some pine/coniferous notes developing with aeration. Simply put...I want more fruit! The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin and better acidity than the 2009, lending more tension and freshness. It actually improves with acquaintance, gaining more cohesion and more body than the 2009. There is a touch of white pepper and spice towards the finish however, at the end of the day it constitutes a decent palate let down by the aromatics. Tasted at the château. - Neil Martin
