  James Suckling
  "Dense and silky with lots of flowers and black currant character. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a long finish for the vintage. Drink now."

  Weinwisser
  "80 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 % Merlot. Sattes Purpur- Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Delikates Cassis- und Brombeerbouquet, geradlinig ausgerichtet mit sanftem Cabernet-Druck. Im Gaumen saftig, eine traumhafte Süsse in den Tanninen zeigend, die Gerbstoffe sind angerundet und der Wein hat insgesamt eine ordentliche Substanz für den Jahrgang. Kann mit den besten Pauillacs mithalten und ist somit ein grossartiger Wert. Liegt ganz nahe bei 18/20 und wird diese in etwa 8 Jahren auch erreichen."

  "This is a well-made, ripe while structured wine. With its juicy black-currant fruits, edge of firm tannins and balanced character, it brings out the best of the year with fruit and not too much structure."

  The Wine Advocate
  "The 2013 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, wild strawberry and cedar fruit, nicely composed and delineated, not complex but harmonious. As usual, there is a conservative element to the aromatics in keeping with this estate's style. The palate is medium-bodied with appreciable mineralité on the entry. I like the edginess here, the framework and in particular the finesse that is not always apparent at Grand-Puy-Lacoste, at least at this early juncture. It might not be a long-term proposition, but it is certainly one of the finest Pauillac wines of the vintage courtesy of Xavier and Emeline Borie."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "If you like cassis, you came to the right place, as that is the wines dominant character. The medium bodied, wine is fresh, bright and crisp, with a spicy, sharp, red fruit finish."

  Wine Spectator
  "This has good vibrancy, with red and black currant fruit carried by brambly tannins. Light charcoal and tobacco leaf notes on the finish give this an old-school edge. Should meld pleasantly with modest cellaring. Best from 2017 through 2023. 9,167 cases made."
