Tasting notes
This dark ruby-colored 1993 reveals the herbal/green pepper character of the vintage. Sweet, ripe fruit is initially attractive on the palate. The wine possesses depth and body, but overall, it comes across as too herbal and angular. Anticipated maturity: now-2006.

About the producer

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.
