2018 Prelude a Grand-Puy Ducasse Pauillac, France HALF CASE 10 Year Old poached rhubarb and a hintProduced from the youngest vines at this classed growth estate, this wine has good balance between perfumed wood aging and buoyant black fruits. The tannins and dense structure promise aging although the wine is likely to develop relatively quickly as befits a second wine. Drink from 2024. Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
