Great value in this bottle - got better as we let it breath. Very distinctive - would buy again.

Sleek fruit, elegantly styled, with youthful tannins. Lacks the fabled typicity of perhaps more brooding and rustic pauillac but that wasn't really the intention.

Château Grand-Puy Ducasse ‘Prelude a Grand-Puy Ducasse’ Pauillac 2016: Full-bodied. Distinct medium-plus tannins. High acidity. Blackberry. Plum. Cassis. Vanilla. Earth. Oak. Long dry finish. Consisting of a fine mix of Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot, this blend hits all the right notes: elegant & smooth, rich & ripe. Bottom line, this is a beautiful, well-made wine. If I had a second bottle, I would definitely cellar as time will only benefit it. Great day to all! Cheers🍷
