Score 72/100 · Drink 1980, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

An acceptable wine for certain, but this Grand-Puy-Lacoste is surprisingly jammy, overripe, with a scent of fresh tea. Soft, flabby, and loosely knit on the palate, this wine is now fully mature. Drink up! Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 7/80.
