This is the consistent and reliable second wine of Grand Puy Lacoste that always delivers early-drinking pleasure.
The 2019 Lacoste-Borie is a wine of immense charm. Wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, licorice and sweet spices, loamy soil and cigar wrapper, it’s medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, with ripe tannins, succulent acids and a round, giving profile. Drink 2023-2043.
Smoke and tar come in measured waves, along with fennel, tobacco and blackberry. Traces of the summer heat, this is enjoyable but struggles to maintain momentum against the tannic bite on the finish.
The blend this year is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc. The wine will be aged in 50% new French oak.
