Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste - Lacoste Borie 2023

JAMES SUCKLING: "This is so bright and vibrant with plenty of fruit. Very pure and lively. Medium-bodied with a supple, silky mouthfeel. Already delicious. Second wine of Grand-Puy-Lacoste. 56% cabernet sauvignon, 33% merlot and 11% cabernet franc."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife Pflaumen, schwarze Kirschen, zarte Kräuterwürze, feine Orangenzesten. Mittlerer Körper, frische Kirschfrucht, zarte Tannine, lebendig, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, ein eleganter Speisenbegleiter."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Charming and succulent, the 2023 Lacoste-Borie bursts with pretty aromas of dark berries, petals and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and seamless palate that's fleshy and fragrant, exhibiting excellent purity of fruit. This delicious blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc will offer a broad drinking window."
