The 2016 Château Grand-Puy Ducasse is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. It starts off with vivid aromas of black and red currants along with cigar box and graphite nuances. Medium-bodied with firm tannin structure and lively acidity at its core. It shows notable tension and length on the finish. Overall, this is a beautifully crafted wine, but it will certainly require plenty of time to soften and become accessible. Readers should plan on tucking this away for at least 5 years before approaching.
