WINE SPECTATOR: WINESPECTATOR:"This sports a savory note up front, lifting the core of plum, black currant and black cherry fruit. Sports a slightly chewy back end, with chestnut, cedar and tobacco details filling in. Maintains good energy and definition overall. Solid length. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2022 through 2036. 8,333 cases made. — JM

JAMES SUCKLING: JAMES SUCKLING:"Very pretty, sweet flowers and hints of fresh herbs follow through to a medium body, creamy tannins and a fresh finish. Hard not to drink now."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER:"Tobacco, cedar, licorice and ripe, softly textured, bright fruits create the personality here. The wine is medium bodied with salty tannins and a forward finish."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: THE WINEADVOCATE:"The 2017 Grand-Puy-Ducasse is medium to deep garnet-purple colored with aromas of crushed red and black currants, black cherries and boysenberries with earth, meats and herbs touches. Medium-bodied, it is firm and rugged in the mouth with muscular fruit and a savory finish."
