Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru 2014

96–97
/100

Lobenberg: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot. Høsten på Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste fandt sted mellem 25. september og 9. oktober. Udbyttet var kun 30 hektoliter pr. hektar. Som med den anden Chateau Haut Batailley er Grand-Puy-Lacoste også usædvanlig med sin charmerende røde kirsebærnæse, en anelse mere kirsebæragtig. Dette er Volnay, når det er bedst. Dette er en Domaine d'Angerville med charme og i sin tæthed helt sikkert en af de bedste Premier Cru-steder i Bourgogne. I munden er den vidunderligt frisk. Syngende, cremet, kridtagtig og stenet mineralitet, et fint spor af salt. Igen helt over kirsebær. Næppe mærkbar i vinens indledende tilgang: den store tanninmasse, som er helt silkeagtig. Ikke noget hårdt og alligevel utrolig lang. Det mærker man først i den lange eftersmag. Så poleret og poleret. Denne vin svinger et sted mellem Bourgogne, Volnay og de super silkebløde Chateauneufs fra Clos des Papes og Vieille Julienne. Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste har race, vinen har finesse, vinen vibrerer. Det er næsten en århundredets vin, den indre spænding og kraft er der på trods af den uendelige finesse. Det er ikke 2010, men det er en stor, fin fornøjelse. Det, som man længe har søgt forgæves i sådan et år. En strålende ode til glæden. Helt sikkert det femte højdepunkt i Pauillac efter Pontet Canet, Mouton, Latour og Pichon Lalande. 96-97/100

Suckling om: Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru

Aromas of cassis, roasted white sesame and sweet spices with touches of ash and graphite A little tannic on the palate, with a medium to full body and a long, tight finish that’s still a tad granular. 82% cabernet sauvignon and 18% merlot. This needs more time in the bottle. Drink from 2028. From a vertical tasting at the winery.

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru

— WS: Rock-solid, with a gutsy core of plum, black currant, steeped fig and melted licorice snap, all carried by a gorgeous, charcoal-edged spine. Long, and loaded with fruit and grip. As solid as they come.—J.M.93-96/100

Parker om: Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru

-- Parker: The Château Grand Puy Lacoste 2014 is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Merlot between 25 September and 9 October at 33 hectoliter per hectare. The aromatics are not as immediate as the Haut-Batailley and demand more coaxing from the glass, but that comes with the territory. It unfurls with each swirl, black fruits at first, then GPL’s trademark, graphite and gravel scents storm into the room. Leaving the glass aside for 10 minutes there is a distant tang of shucked oyster shells. The palate is understated on the entry. This is not a powerhouse Grand-Puy-Lacoste, rather one that emphasizes finesse and precision. It is almost unerringly low-key and yet there is an enormous length already in place. As usual, I suspect that its secrets (or at least some of them) will be unlocked during its barrel maturation. One of the appellation's most cerebral offerings. 93-95/100

Galloni om: Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru

--Galloni: Vibrant and pulsating in the glass, the 2014 Grand Puy Lacoste impresses for its superb overall balance. The flavors are bright and beautifully expressive, with sweet floral notes woven throughout that give the wine much of its nuance, while the seamless, silky tannins speak to finesse. Even with all of its explosive energy, the 2014 is not an obvious or huge wine; rather it is a Pauillac that draws the taster in with its multiple shades of dimension. A wine of true class and pedigree, the Grand Puy Lacoste is shaping up to be a real gem in this vintage. Tasted twice. -- Antonio Galloni 92-95/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru

-- Wine Enthusiast: Barrel Sample. This wine is dark and brooding, a powerhouse of tannins. It is seriously structured and could be too extracted and bitter except for the superripe fruit that is cut by lively acidity. — R.V. 92-94/100
