Fragrant with classy red dominant fruit, smoky, rich garden soil and scorched earth with black olive, sweet spice and light black pepper. Less exciting in the mouth though there is decent balance and full, firm red fruited tannin and a chalky mineral finish. — 11 years ago

A fine pleasure with great length and starting to be mature tannins, will be even better in a few more years - and as Emmanuel Reynaud told me "remember wine is first of all a pleasure to share with people we care about" 😊 — 10 years ago

Mom and Dad bought this 2006 wine in 2009 (for $60 euros) from the Lacoste winery Bouches du Rhone region when they came to visit me. We just opened it (2014), afraid it might have sat too long, but it hadn't. It was unbelievable. Smooth, earthy, peppery, light but full; the mineral notes transported me back. The kind if wine I will dream about until I go back someday. — 11 years ago

The Bordeaux I've had over the last six months has, I must admit, left me sceptical as to why Bordeaux is so brilliant. With the exceptions of Chateau La Cardonne 2003 and Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 2001, much of the Bordeaux I've had has left me disappointed. This bottle however reaffirmed to me the beauty of the region. Just an astonishingly good wine - 2005 of course being an excellent vintage - whose only let-down lay in my not opening the bottle a few years later; the wine would definitely benefit from a good five to ten years' more age, to soften the tannins and allow a longer finish. I am however being fussy. It was fantastic. — 12 years ago
