Deep crimson. Solid, chewy, non-manipulated wine. Lots of quite aggressive tannins. Almost edible rather than drinkable! (JR)
A fleshy dark ruby-colored wine, with sweet black currant, tobacco, and cedary notes, this nicely-textured wine has well-integrated wood, supple tannins, and an attractive, relatively lush finish. It is not especially concentrated or profound, but it is mainstream and appealing. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2013.
Plenty of black licorice and berry character in this red. Full- to medium-bodied, with fine tannins, but slightly hollow midpalate. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2001.
About the producer
The 40 hectares of this Pauillac Fifth Growth are spread across three sites, pieced together in the 18th century by Pierre Ducasse. Today owned by France’s Crédit Agricole bank, they have some very fine vineyard land, with their northernmost plot neighbouring Mouton and Lafite.
