Score 82/100 · Drink 1986, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
The 1979 is medium to dark ruby, with a spicy, ripe, fruity bouquet, and attractively silky, soft flavors that show noticeable maturity. This is a charming, quite fruity wine with medium body. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 7/86.

About the producer

Grand Puy Ducasse
The 40 hectares of this Pauillac Fifth Growth are spread across three sites, pieced together in the 18th century by Pierre Ducasse. Today owned by France’s Crédit Agricole bank, they have some very fine vineyard land, with their northernmost plot neighbouring Mouton and Lafite.
