Drank 2/19/18. Paired with roasted chicken.
The nose of sweet stewed plums and red berries is quite expressive. Still present, but mild, well integrated tannins lend structure to cassis and earth flavors. Medium finish. This could go a few more years, but is in a sweet spot now. I dont think it will improve further, so drink now. Fully mature.

Simply amazing at $22. Perfect with Spicy Thai. “... it is perfumed and ethereal without harsh edges, a more darkly fruited plumper answer to great red Burgundy.”- Ian Cauble — 7 years ago

Спелая вишня, черника, чёрная смородина с плодоножками, горький шоколад, карандашная стружка, намёк на графит. Среднетелое, с мелкозернистыми танинами и высокой кислотностью. В послевкусии тёмные и красные ягоды со взбитыми сливками. Пока что не до конца интегрирований дуб; хороший потенциал. 16,5+/20 — 8 years ago

Made in Bordeaux but played like a Burgundy. Ripe fruit, rich texture, fine barrel integration, holding its pants even at a temperature around 10-12c.. considerable length - over 20 seconds. Price as jumped since last vintage, so did the quality. This wine can bluff a Burgundy amateur in blind tasting that's for sure; it does feel like a wine from Puligny. — 7 years ago
High score for enjoyability not complexity. Grainy fine tannins, real verve & energy, cassis/currants. Johannes find. — 8 years ago

Delicious mid priced Bordeaux. Second wine of Grand-Puy-Lacoste. Lucky enough to find this gem in my otherwise boring corner wine shop. Restrained but elegant dark fruit overlaid with the graphite and leather aromas I crave in an old world blend. Will certainly return for another bottle. — 6 years ago
