‘The 2019 Grand Puy Lacoste, as usual, requires plenty of aeration in the glass. Then boom! You get that gorgeous, classic Pauillac raspberry and blackberry fruit infused with cedar and pencil box scents. The harmonious, poised palate has wonderful focus, very fine tannins and a silky-smooth texture. As I remarked in my previous note, it’s very pliant and persistent, with a graphite-tinged finish. A glorious Grand Puy Lacoste that will need time to assimilate the oak – but hey, GPL lovers know the rules. 2025-2060’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 96/100
‘The 2019 Grand-Puy-Lacoste exhibits notions of minty cassis, plums, loamy soil, burning embers and cigar wrapper, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety palate that’s deep and concentrated, its generous core of lively fruit concealing an elegantly muscular chassis of ripe, powdery tannin. Consisting of fully 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is another true classic from the Borie family. 2027-2065’ – William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 96/100

| Producer information | Grand-Puy-Lacoste is one of the oldest in the Médoc with its history dated back to the 16th century. From the 16th century until 1920, the property remained in the same family, and in 1978 was passed on to the Borie family. Since then, major renovations have been done on the property and the focus has been placed on the quality of the wines, rather than quantity. The 55 hectare vineyard is planted to 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, with the average age of the vines at 38 years. |
