Tasting Notes

Intense, luscious, characterful with grippy tannins, this shows the work that has been undertaken at Grand Puy Ducasse over the past few years, heavy rosemary and clove spice on the finish. Hubert de Boüard consultant.

The 2022 Grand Puy Ducasse has quite a bold nose with blackberry, bilberry and blue fruit scents, along with a hint of iodine in the background. It's quite ambitious and pulls it off. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, plenty of graphite-infused black fruit and a hint of dark chocolate toward the finish that will be absorbed with time. A powerful Pauillac, this is a Grand Puy Ducasse that should repay cellaring. This is one to watch.

The 2022 Grand Puy Ducasse is a racy, elegant wine. Broad and ample in the glass, with notable energy, Grand Puy Ducasse is a standout in 2022. Lavender, mocha, espresso, spice and leather play off a core of intense dark fruit. The vibrant, explosive finish is a thing of beauty

I loved the 2022 Château Grand-Puy Ducasse, another Pauillac that shines for its purity and length. Offering lots of red and black fruits, graphite, tobacco, and spicy oak, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, nicely integrated, ripe, fine-grained tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It shows the richer style of the vintage yet has a solid spine of freshness that keeps it light on its feet.

Score: 93 - 95

The 2The 2022 Grand-Puy-Ducasse exhibits notes of sweet plums and cherries mingled with licorice and spices. Medium to full-boded, taut and chalky, with a sweet, concentrated core of fruit and a penetrating finish, it's a youthfully structured effort that concludes with a somewhat drying finish.

Score: 89 - 92

Beautiful texture here. Tannins are dense and compact but finely polished and silky. Seamless and even with length and succulence. Medium- to full-bodied. Power with elegance. Endless for this. Finally the best ever.

Score: 96 - 97
