Note di degustazione
83CS 17M A very pretty nose, sweet and high-toned. Very refined and elegant. No pruney fruit, no severe tannin. just seemless and utterly delicious mid-weight claret with an incredibly long, pure finish. Every bit as good as the best of the Second Growths

Grand Puy Lacoste 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot were blended to produce a deep colored wine that expresses toasty oak, cassis, coffee, jammy dark berries, tobacco and olive tapenade aromas that pair well with the full-bodied, bite of concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon, spice and cassis. Along with the stellar 2005, this is the best vintage of this wine since the outstanding 2000. winecellarinsider.com
Subfusc purple depth of colour, hardly a puff of smoky frankincense or mayflower for the nose, but savours of late summer black fruits underlie dusky, musky tannins up to the mid palate. A fairly long aftertaste brings out some minerality from this solid well-structured medium- to full-bodied Pauillac. But generally the tannins have considerably softened and become integrated by mid May. It will lose its reticence by 2020 and fulfil its promise before 2040.
Lovely aromas already, with currants and blackberries. Full body, with very fine, yet dense tannins and a rich finish. Reserved and sophisticated. Noble tannins. jamessuckling.com

In 1978 the Borie family took over Grand-Puy-Lacoste and Xavier Borie has been making exceptional wines here ever since. With 58 hectares of vines around the château, this is a wine with real Pauillac style.
