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."

DECANTER: "Ripe blackcurrants and cherries. Some black pepper and crushed stones on the nose too. Clean and juicy, very light and fragrant, subtle, soft and calm. It’s not high toned but certainly on the fresher side, but really all in one line. Very pleasant with a real salty, dark, tangy liquorice grip on the finish with excellent purity of fruit. Persistent and gently powderful. Charming and easy to drink. 3.56pH. 45% second wine production. A yield of 48hl/ha."

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."

VINUM: "Verführerisch, verspielt, fruchtig, floral; knackig am Gaumen, delikate Frucht, zeigt Frische und Länge. Ein Sneak-Preview auf den Grand Vin."
