Tasting notes
A seductive combination of jammy ripe blackcurrants, smoke, toast, and new oak is offered in this excellent 1994. This supple wine offers loads of fruit and sweet tannin. Medium to full-bodied and well-balanced, this is a delicious, precocious 1994 that will drink well now and over the next 12-14 years. Readers should also note that this wine is reasonably priced.

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.
