  The Wine Cellar Insider
  Cassis, cigar box, dried flowers, spice, herbs and blackberries crowd into the perfume. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated and rich. There is a lushness to the fruits, along with a softness and polish to tannins that is perfect for the wine and the vintage. Length, purity, complexity and a seemingly, endless, creamy finish caps everything off. This is the finest vintage ever produced at Grand Puy Lacoste. Fans of the estate, and Pauillac should be all over this wine. Drink from 2026-2060."

  Besondere aromatische Komplexität mit blumigen und delikat- würzigen Akzenten; von beeindruckender Rasse, erstklassiges Tannin, eyquisite Frische und Länge; gehört einmal mehr zu den Top Buys des Jahres."

  Wine Spectator
  A tightly coiled Pauillac, with a blitz of iron and savory notes wrapped around a core of cassis, damson plum and black cherry. Sleek and tightly focused, with the iron note leaving a mouthwatering echo. Plenty tight through the finish, so patience is required. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2028 through 2042. 10,000 cases made."

  Quite youthful, and the wood spices aren’t yet fully integrated, Aromas of violet extract, blue and purple fruit and a hint of graphite. Full-bodied, juicy and poised, with fine-grained tannins that are firm at the end, showing power and length. 76% cabernet sauvignon and 24% merlot. 13.5% alcohol. Drink from 2029. From a vertical tasting at the winery."

  Cassis, graphite, smoked tobacco, and crushed stone-like minerality all emerge from the 2020 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, a more focused, classic effort that has gorgeous purity of fruit, ripe, building tannins, and flawless balance. More in the style of the 2016 than the 2018 and 2019, it has tons of class."

  Milk chocolate, blackcurrants, some cinnamon ,floral spice notes, cedar, touch of liquorice. Smooth and supple, lovely energy and vibrancy here, really quite high-toned and in focus, lovely precision to the details here - the tannins are firm, slightly coarse and grainy but do so well to give the structure in the mouth - really give the frame while the flavour and the acidity does the talking. I like the combination of fruit and texture and acidity, feels serious while maintaining energy, focus and drive. Lovely lightness of touch, flows along the palate, I also love the red fruit aspects - strawberry, red cherry, bright, seering, really so joyful here with acidity that lasts and lasts. But a lovely crunch and bite to the tannins overall and lovely fresh ending. Long. wide, open, generous and friendly. Finessed and refined. True signature here where they don’t push too hard, not too heavy on the extraction."

  Weinwisser
  Delikates Bouquet, rote Kirsche, Johannisbeerdrops und Rosmarin, dahinter heller Tabak und Graphit. Am eleganten Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, herrliche Extraktfülle, balancierte Rasse und mittlerer Körper. Im gebündelten feinaromatischen Finale rote Beeren, geradlinig, so fein und feminin. Punktet mit langem Rückaroma."
