Description

One bottle each of Grand Puy Ducasse 2005 and Cantemerle 2010. Cellared in a dark underground cellar since purchase. The bottles on sale are those shown in the photographs. Both have levels into the neck.

Notes on the Grand Puy Ducasse:

"Another “best ever” performance, the Grand-Puy-Ducasse is made in a charming style for a 2005 Pauillac. This deep ruby-hued, very concentrated, precocious, showy effort displays copious quantities of sweet oak intermixed with black cherries, black currants, velvety tannins, medium body, and loads of fruit. It can be drunk now or cellared for 15-20 years. 91"
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (176), April 2008

"Some berry and cherry character. Medium- to full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a medium finish.
85/88" James Suckling, WineSpectator.com, March 2006

"Tasted blind. Dark purplish crimson. Fresh nose. Lots of sweet Cabernet fruit. Relatively light tannins. Crisp finish. Drink 2015-2024 16.5"
Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, March 2017

"Concentrated colour and fruit, intense cassis and good plummy impression, quite forward style. Drink 2009-18.
16.5" Steven Spurrier, Decanter.com, April 2006

"Rich, ripe, concentrated. Well-extracted fruit, already elegant. Very good impression of pure ripeness and no exaggeration, quite tight and firm. Very good potential. Drink from 2016. Awarded 4 stars. 16.5+"
Decanter.com, July 2008

Notes on the Cantemerle:

"The wine needs a good 7-10 years of cellaring and should keep for 30 more years, but this is the finest Cantemerle I have encountered in my professional career of tasting young vintages (dating back 34 years now). Stunningly deep ruby/purple, with a beautiful nose of spring flowers intermixed with perfumed raspberry and blueberry notes, it exhibits a sort of cool-climate character. Broad, rich and intense on the palate, the wine has plenty of tannins, but they are sweet and well-integrated. Everything is delicately entwined into this beautiful, medium to full-bodied, dense purple wine, which shows stunning character and a prodigious potential for development. This is definitely a major sleeper of the vintage and even better than I thought from barrel. Drink 2020-2050.

With its 2010, this classified growth located in the southern end of the Medoc may well have made a modern-day version of their legendary 1949. 94+"
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (205), March 2013

"Layered and rich with lots of blueberry character and ripe velvety tannins. Lovely texture. Best wine from here in years 93/94"
James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, March 2011

"Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Cantemerle gives up notes of cassis, baked plums and fragrant earth with hints of pencil shavings and bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock-full of bright, juicy fruit with a lively backbone and a bit of chew to the finish. 2020 - 2038 90"
Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate (March 2020), March 2020

"Lower yields in general than 2009 but they almost reached the maximum allowed because of their high density. 53 hl/ha. Very dark purple. Big and raw and blustering. Quite a bruiser! Very sweet and lively and classy with marked mulberry fruit. Very powerful with masses of tannins hidden away underneath too. Well-integrated nose with both concentration and vivacity. Nicely balanced and behaved even without real nerve. Just a little stolid on the finish. Tasted both open and blind. 16"
Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, April 2011

"Deep purple in colour, the nose here is expressive with blackcurrant and savoury, smoky spices. The palate has an impressive core of dense cassis and black cherry fruit, layered by nutmeg and clove from new oak. The fresh acidity gives a savoury and refreshing edge to complement the firm and chewy tannins at this young stage. Intensity builds on the mid palate and peaks on the long cassis and violet finish. This is a Cantemerle with great promise, and is quite possibly the best ever made from this Chateau. 94+"
