CRITIC REVIEWS
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
The 2020 Grand-Puy-Ducasse reveals a deep purple-black color and notes of crème de cassis, blackberry pie, espresso and black olives, giving way to nuances of cedar chest, graphite and wild sage, with a suggestion of Sichuan pepper. The palate is medium-bodied with a sturdy frame of chewy tannins and just enough freshness, taking a bit of a flavor-dip in the mid-palate, finishing a little short and firm.

The 2020 Grand-Puy Ducasse is deep garnet-purple in color. It opens with notes of crushed rocks, tar, and black pepper, over a core of warm cassis, blackberry preserves, and raspberry leaves. Medium-bodied, the palate is taut, muscular, and earthy, with a firm backbone of grainy tannins and great length.
