Jeff Leve om:
Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru
Spicy, black currants, cedar, cigar wrappers, spearmint, and floral aromas only take a single swirl to find. The palate is medium-bodied, chewy, crisp, and racy, with an open character allowing all of the sweet, vibrant, red currants, strawberries, and peppery garrigue notes to come through easily on the palate and in the classic-oriented finish. The wine is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon with 22% Merlot, 13.2% ABV. The Grand Vin was produced from 60% of the crop. Picking took place September 25 - October 8. Drink from 2028 - 2050.
