Château Grand-Puy Ducasse 2009 is a full-bodied Cabernet-Sauvignon-based red wine produced by the Fifth Growth property of Château Grand-Puy Ducasse in the Pauillac region of Bordeaux. The 2009 grand vin is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot and offers one of the more full-bodied examples from this often-overlooked property. "Aromas of blackberries, unsmoked cigar tobacco and cedar/sagebrush jump from the glass of this dense purple-hued Pauillac. Full-bodied with more depth and richness than usual as well as moderate tannins, this potential sleeper of the vintage offers 15-20 years of aging potential. Moreover, it is modestly priced. Purchasers should give it 4-5 years of cellaring and enjoy it over the following two decades." Wine Advocate, 2012
