Château Grand-Puy Ducasse 2011 – Pauillac 5ème Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fruity and offers freshness, a fine concentration, a racy grain and a little stretch/stretch. There are notes of pulpy wild strawberry, fleshy redcurrant and slightly fresher wild berry fruit combined with hints of violet, fresh pepper as well as hints of fresh lilac and a discreet hint of fresh blond tobacco. The palate is fruity with freshness, minerality, good definition, juiciness, acidity and juicy/crisp/fresh fruit. On the palate this wine expresses juicy/pulpy blackberry, juicy/fresh redcurrant and more slightly berry notes with hints of violet, toasted almond, racy minerality and fine vanilla. The tannins are elegant and racy.
