NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Château Grand-Puy Ducasse Pauillac (Grand Cru Classé) is a bold, full-bodied wine.Its deep red color speaks to its intense and complex aromas of ripe dark fruit, toasted oak, and baking spices. On the palate, this wine shows off its structure and power with a firm tannic backbone, great acidity, and a long finish. It's a great example of a classic Left Bank Bordeaux from one of the most renowned estates.
