Tasting Notes

Lacoste-Borie is the second wine of Pauillac fifth growth Grand-Puy-Lacoste. While the 2010 grand vins are not yet in their drinking window, this will fit the bill. The nose has nicely defined cedar and black pepper with hints of struck match and bacon. The palate has softened out wonderfully, but retains structural liquorice and cocoa-infused tannins. There is a succulent black fruit edge, with savoury hints of tobacco and some herbaceousness behind.

Score: 91 Decanter, Decanter.com Date: 12 June 2017

Features a solid black currant, licorice and tobacco core, with well-embedded tarry grip. More approachable than most, showing solid vintage and AOC character. Drink now through 2020.
