  • 2014 Grand Puy Lacoste, 5. Cru Classé Pauillac

    Pauillac fås ikke mere klassisk end denne vin! En flot sæsonafslutning, veldisponeret markarbejde, tredobbelt druesortering og et skarpt blik på alle detaljer har i den grad givet pote. "Den er virkeligt enestående på alle måder....Det bliver svært at finde en bedre Pauillac til prisen i denne årgang end Grand-Puy-Lacoste.": WineCellarInsider Feb. 2017.

    This is really outstanding in every way. The wine has generosity, with all its ripe, juicy, fruits, spice, tobacco, cassis and blackberry. The tannins are soft and smooth. There is structure and ample raw material to age, and complexity, meshed with character, from start to finish. It is going to be hard to find a better Pauillac for the money than Grand Puy Lacoste this year.

    This red shows lots of redcurrants and fresh flowers on the nose. It's full-bodied with juicy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Needs three or four years to resolve some of the tannins. Beautiful cabernet character, but already a joy to taste.

    The 2014 Grand Puy Lacoste is superb. Dark, dense and inviting, the 2014 possesses remarkable depth and richness. Black cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and tobacco all develop in the glass, but it is the overall feel that is most impressive. Silky, polished tannins nicely balance the wine's overt personality. In short, the 2014 has it all. Don't miss it. This is a knockout wine from proprietor François-Xavier Borie.

    Firm with dark tannins, this is a structured wine. It is still reticent, likely to take several more years to show its fruit. It is dense with the black-plum fruit behind the firm tannins. With all this concentration, expect this wine to need at least until 2024 before drinking.

    A sleek, graphite-fueled version, with ample cassis and black cherry fruit racing along, picking up light tobacco, anise and bramble notes along the way. The fruit is vivid, presenting pleasant coiled-up energy. Should age nicely. Best from 2020 through 2030.

    The 2014 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a much more approachable nose than usual, vibrant with red cherries, wild strawberry and cedar aromas, backed up with mineral-soaked blackberry fruit. This gathers momentum wonderfully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. The acidity is very well judged with purity and elegance on the finish, if not the structure or backbone commonly found is very top vintages. I've been a bit conservative with my score at the moment, but I am sure it will prove its worth with 3-5 more years in bottle, hence the plus sign. One to watch. Drink date 2022-2050.
