Grand-Puy Ducasse Pauillac 2014

92 points Wine Enthusiast: “For the vintage, this is a particularly rich wine. It is structured and firm with opulent black-plum fruit that gives the wine a ripe character. Dense with supporting tannins, the wine is going to develop well over the medium term. Drink from 2022. (Feb 2017)”

92 points Richard Jennings: “Dark red violet color; aromatic, plum, cedar nose; silky textured, cassis, cedar, plum palate with good balancing acidity; needs 3-plus years; medium-plus finish (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot; 18 months in oak, 40% new). (1/27/17)”

91 points James Suckling: “The forthright cassis note is immediately appealing, then the rather bold tannic structure sneaks up on you and shows that this is a serious wine. Maybe not quite the power and length of the appellation’s top wines in 2014, but still an impressive wine. (2/13/17)”
