Grand Puy Lacoste 2010

Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 97.0

A welcome combination of violet and spices, laden with rich blackcurrant and cassis fruit immediately hits the nose when trying the first sip of Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste. Formed of 90 hectares planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (c.75%) and Merlot (c.25%), their terroir constitutes deep gravel beds over limestone, allowing the 38-year-old vines to thrive. The wine is aged in 75% new barrels for 16-18 months. The end result is a luscious wine of an intense red-purple colour whose palate is teaming with fruits that are met with rounded, smooth tannins that linger long after each sip.

Wonderful concentration on the nose: fragrance, dry herbs, dry cassis, all the Cabernet-Pauillac fruit with an added depth. Very good richness of fruit and a very good future.

The 2010 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is medium to deep garnet in color. It storms out of the glass with notions of creme de cassis, plum pudding, and mocha, plus suggestions of sandalwood and unsmoked cigars. The medium-bodied palate has a rock-solid structure of chewy tannins and plenty of freshness to support the muscular, evolved fruit, finishing on a mineral note.
