The 2014 Lacoste-Borie was showing a little earthiness on the nose, perhaps not quite as pure and as defined as I would have been hoping. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannin, grainy in texture with brambly red fruit laced with baking powder and white pepper towards what feels like a light finish. I must admit that given the barrel showing, I was hoping for more from this.
Effectively the second wine of Ch Grand-Puy-Lacoste. Very bright healthy crimson. Neat, quite intense, very classic Pauillac even if clearly not from the very top drawer. Lovely vigour and transparency even if quite forward. GV (JR)
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.
