Tasting notes
A success for the vintage, Grand Puy Lacoste's ruby-colored 1992 offers sweet, ripe, up-front cassis fruit, as well as some fat and softness. Although it lacks the depth, focus, and concentration of the 1991 and 1993, it is a charming, velvety-textured wine for drinking over the next 5-6 years.

Light and earthy, berry-flavored, but rather short and diluted. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1995.

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.
