2009 Chateau Grand-Puy Ducasse Pauillac 5eme Grand Cru Classe

Intense and brooding aromatics with layers upon layers. Blackberry, plum, mocha, graphite, fresh herb and hints of leather and forest floor. The palate is powerful and elegant at the same time, and builds to a long finish framed by ample tannins.

A fine deep red colour with glints of cherry showing its remarkable youthfulness. An intense nose with a wide variety of aromas: tobacco, honey, wax, rose, liquorice and blackberries. A very smooth, round attack. Velvety tannins with excellent concentration and intensity on the mid palate. Retro-olfaction offers powerful truffle notes.
