Château Grand Puy Lacoste, 5ème Cru Classé, Pauillac

Notes

The 1999 Grand Puy-Lacoste offers attractive brambly red fruit with pencil shavings and touches of undergrowth. There is plenty of freshness here, more than in other Pauillacs that I have tasted at 20 years of age. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin and pretty red currant and raspberry notes tinged with orange peel and a hint of leather. It is not a powerful Grand-Puy-Lacoste, and never was, but the balance sees it through, and it will give another ten years of drinking pleasure. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the estate.
