Château Grand Puy Ducasse 1988 is a Bordeaux wine from the Pauillac appellation, produced on a 40-hectare estate that is classified as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification. This vintage, part of the estate’s extensive history, offers a blend that reflects the characteristics of its terroir, showcasing the influence of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and an element of Cabernet Franc. The château aims for a balance of fruit and structure, evidenced in this vintage, which has developed complexity over time. Grand Puy Ducasse is known for its tradition of crafting wines with a distinct Pauillac identity.

The 1988 Grand Puy Ducasse is a wine that I last tasted with no less than Michael Broadbent during a bibulous dinner in Tokyo back in 2004. The bouquet has faded since back then but is still nicely defined with cedar and tobacco stained red fruit, a subtle ferrous tincture and cooked meat. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, crisp acidity, lacking substance and a little monotone now on the finish yet with decent length. It is a fading Pauillac but certainly constituted one of the better wines from the estate in this decade. Tasted at the château. - Neil Martin - The 1988 Grand Puy Ducasse is a wine that I last tasted with no less than Michael Broadbent during a bibulous dinner in Tokyo back in 2004.
