Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend
Pauillac, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Purple in color with a purplish rim.
Fresh fruits on the nose with cedar, licorice and chocolates notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, light oak, spices, chocolates, coffee, licorice, light vegetables, tobacco, light earth, herbs and black pepper.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious 5 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Pauillac. Elegant, fruit forward and rich.
Wine Spectator 96 points. Wine Advocate 94 points.
Still young, and a tad subdued at the moment, but with good structure and nice complexity. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Already showing a great mouthfeel, nicely balanced and good by itself or with food.
A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot. Aged in (75% new) French Oak barrels.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$90.

Deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, floral spice and cedar notes, blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot. On the palate flavors of blackberry, plum and black cherry with cacao, tobacco, licorice and oak. Fine grainy tight tannins, well balanced on long finish, ending with fruit, cedar and earthy floral mineral character. Very nice, will age well but wait a few more years to really enjoy!

Smooth, balanced and still a bit restrained. I am suspecting there is still more to be released in flavor. Small grained tannin, dark blue berry, moraine cherry fruit notes. Decent finish.
