Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste - Lacoste Borie 2018

FALSTAFF: "Kräftiges Rubingranat, zarte ockerfarbene Reflexe, breitere Randaufhellung. Zart kräuterwürzig unterlegte Pflaumenfrucht, Nuancen von Cassis und Herzkirschen, kandierte Orangenzesten und Edelholz im Hintergrund. Komplex, saftig, feine Extraktsüße, eingelegte Kirschen, reife Tannine, etwas Nougat im Abgang, verfügt über Länge und sicheres Reifepotenzial."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Soft and silky second wine of Grand Puy Lacost. Medium to full body, juicy fruit and a velvety tannic finish."

DECANTER: "The colour on these wines is wonderful, clearly showing just how easy the extraction was in 2018 - an IPT of 90 in the Lalande Borie has got to be a record. They have handled the wine extremely well this year, showing tension through the palate between beautiful freshness, firm tannins and juicy, appetising fruit. It's unquestionably powerful, and you are definitely getting a lot of bang for your buck here. Very drinkable. 35hl/ha yield. Drinking Window 2024 - 2036"
