94 points Wine Enthusiast: "This generous, ripe wine is filled with fine tannins as well as juicy black-currant fruits. It is approachable in the sense that the fruit is so delicious. However, watch for those tannins that are firm and dense and will allow the wine to age. Best to wait until 2024. Alcohol 13.5%. (Feb 2018)"
93 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Deep ruby with purple reflections and delicate rim brightening. Distinct roasted aromas, ripe cassis, black cherry, pleasant oak touch. Juicy, dark nougat, some fig, taut, supporting tannins, salty minerality, chocolatey finish, lingers, has good prospects. (03/14/19)."
92 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2015 Grand Puy Ducasse has a forward, rich bouquet that lacks the precision of the top wines from the appellation. This is quite earthy in style, hints of clove developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, and overtly masculine and broody. The very structured, graphite-tinged finish is, frankly, no fun at the moment. Give it 10 years, though, and I think this could evolve into a classic Pauillac for those who love traditional claret. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. (Jan 2019)"

90-92 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "The 2015 Grand-Puy-Ducasse has a classic pencil lead and cedar-scented bouquet that feels just a little foursquare at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with a dash of spice on the entry. This is underpinned by quite robust tannin, but fortunately this Pauillac forages finesse towards the finish that is well balanced and offers attractive persistence. While not as showy out of barrel, I suspect it may coalesce and turn into one of the better wines from this estate in recent years. My banded score based upon that optimism. Drink: 2019-2032. (Apr 2016)"
