Chateau Grand-Puy Ducasse 2014 750ml

This is a particularly rich wine for the vintage offering a well structured palate with ripe black fruit flavors of cassis and plum with some licorice on the finish.  Well defined supporting tannins and a streak of graphite.  Enjoy this classy red with grilled steak, mushrooms and roasted vegetables.

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. (RV)  (2/2017)

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.  (2/2017)

90 Points Wine Spectator

Ripe and racy, with a graphite streak that drives the core of cassis and plum fruit along, picking up an anise edge on the finish. Not big, but fresh and well-defined. Shows some sneaky grip. Best from 2018 through 2026. (JM)  (3/2017)
