Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste 5eme Cru Classe

Grand Puy Lacoste 2012

Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 94.0

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.

Tasted blind. Sweetness and concentration. This wine gives a decidedly glossy impression with everything in the right place. Very winning. Though there is a slight charred note on the inky finish. But there’s a heck of a lot going on here.

Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Always a favorite among consumers, Xavier Borie’s is a fifth-growth Pauillac that consistently performs at a much higher level. The 2012 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has the classic, tell-tale crème de cassis as well as some bluer fruits and floral notes. Medium-bodied, its ripe tannin, beautiful fruit and low acidity give it an up-front appeal. There’s no harm in drinking it now or cellaring it for another 12-15+ years.
