Score 85/100 · Drink 1990-2000, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
I would like to have seen a bit more depth and excitement in the 1986, but it is a pretty, charming, medium-bodied, atypically lighter-styled Pauillac for the vintage. Drinkable now, it will certainly last another 7-8 years. Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Last tasted, 11/90.

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.
