VINUM: "Wow, was für ein Duft, tiefgründig, mineralisch, würzig, rote und dunkle Beeren, Rauch; am Gaumen seidenweich, top Tanninqualität, sehr gut strukturiert, elegant, mit Rasse, Schliff und Länge. Einmal mehr hervorragend."

ANSON: "Medium to full intensity inky plum colour, cold campfire and grilled cedar on the opening with vibrant plum fruits alongside, good quality, on the fresh side, but savoury and sappy with plenty of lift. 70% new oak for 17 months ageing."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violettte Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Schwarze Kirschen, feines Cassis, ein Hauch von Nougat, kandierte Orangenzesten sind unterlegt. Saftig, elegant, reife Beerenfrucht, finessenreiche Struktur, rotbeeriger Nachhall, delikat und anhaftend, feine reife Tannine, sicheres Reifepotenzial."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Spicy, black currants, cedar, cigar wrappers, spearmint, and floral aromas only take a single swirl to find. The palate is medium-bodied, chewy, crisp, and racy, with an open character allowing all of the sweet, vibrant, red currants, strawberries, and peppery garrigue notes to come through easily on the palate and in the classic-oriented finish. The wine is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon with 22% Merlot, 13.2% ABV. The Grand Vin was produced from 60% of the crop. Picking took place September 25 - October 8. Drink from 2028 - 2050."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot, maturing in 70% new barriques, the 2024 Grand-Puy-Lacoste offers up notes of blackcurrants, pencil shavings, iris and oak, followed by a medium-bodied, pretty palate built around a delicate core of fruit and lively acids, its powdery structuring tannins asserting themselves with gentle grip on the finish."
