Score 84/100 · Drink 1986, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
The 1975 is dark ruby in color, with a stalky, vegetal note to an otherwise attractive bouquet. Ripe, round, deep fruit has an aggressive, rustic texture to it, and despite the wine's concentration and hefty proportions, the overall impression is one of coarseness. A good wine that just misses being excellent. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 6/86.

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.
