Tasting notes
Although fully mature since the mid-eighties, this wine has held on to its fruit and charm with no signs of decline. It offers moderately intense aromas of berries, herbs, and toasty oak, round, graceful, medium-bodied, moderately concentrated flavors, and a silky finish. It should be drunk before the end of the decade. Last tasted, 5/93.

About the producer
In 1978 the Borie family took over Grand-Puy-Lacoste and Xavier Borie has been making exceptional wines here ever since. With 58 hectares of vines around the château, this is a wine with real Pauillac style.
