Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru 2019

97-98+
/100

Vinen har næsten 14,5 volumenprocent alkohol, noget vi har oplevet før med Montrose. 83 procent Cabernet Sauvignon, 17 procent Merlot. Det fantastiske ved 2019 er, at en utrolig friskhed fra de kølige efterårsnætter får dig til helt at glemme det høje alkoholindhold. Og med samme alkoholniveau som i 2018. Fyldig, dyb næse. Nu krydret Cabernet igen. Smukke brombær, meget moden peber, morbær, lidt sorte kirsebær og cassis. Ekstremt delikat i munden, næsten lækker. Saftig, krydret, drikkelig. En fornøjelse at drikke, men alligevel med en genial smagfuld længde. Friskhed forrest, strålende længde bagest, en elegant kerne i midten. God kødfuldhed. En vidunderlig tilgængelig Pauillac. Og alligevel skal den gemmes væk i ti år, for den har masser af det hele. Men det bedste ved den er dens saftige, velsmagende gen. Hvilken fornøjelse at drikke vinen som fadprøve. Og da den nærmest overtager 2018's karakteristika med lidt mere friskhed, smag og salt, syrlig længde, er dette en lille turbolader af 2018'eren. Helt perfekt, uden at være en af de helt store vine. 97-98+/100

Galloni om: Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru

The 2019 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a well-defined bouquet with cedar and graphite infused black fruit, hints of pencil shavings, controlled and refined. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, taut and fresh with a pixelated and mineral-driven finish, lingering long in the mouth. What a heavenly 2019 Pauillac. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. 97/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru

Not far off the 2018, the 2019 Château Grand-Puy Lacoste is deeply hued, with a concentrated, yet weightless style. Offering notes of red and black currants, spicy, tobacco, and graphite, with some classic Pauillac lead pencil, this richly textured, balanced, full-bodied effort has fine tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish.

Decanter om: Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru

Lovely depth of colour, a big difference between the 1st and 2nd wine in this vintage, this just screams Pauillac with its pencil lead, charcoal and cassis notes. Glass-staining colour, extremely silky, with liquorice and chocolate adding layers without taking away from the purity of expression. Fine tannic hold, tons of character and clear longevity - this is a brilliant wine, easily equal to the 2018 and approaching the 2016. 96/100

Suckling om: Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru

This is a very polished young wine with lemon-rind, blackcurrant, cedar and lavender character. It’s full, yet so refined and sophisticated, with floral undertones to the pretty fruit. The tannins are intense and long. Give this at least five or six years to soften. Try after 2025. 96/100

Jane Anson om: Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru

Inky and glass-staining damson colour, with enjoyable aromatics, slow building power that is tempered and softened by waves of violet and peony. Knitted down, muscular tannins build a wall around the black fruits. This is concentrated, signature Pauillac just as it was En Primeur, majoring on pencil lead, cloves, liquorice and cocoa bean. 41hl/h yield, 75% new oak. 96/100

Parker om: Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru

The 2019 Grand-Puy-Lacoste exhibits notions of minty cassis, plums, loamy soil, burning embers and cigar wrapper, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety palate that’s deep and concentrated, its generous core of lively fruit concealing an elegantly muscular chassis of ripe, powdery tannin. Consisting of fully 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is another true classic from the Borie family. 96/100

Neal Martin om: Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru

The 2019 Grand Puy Lacoste is deep purple in colour. Initially the bouquet is tight and so I left my sample for 15-20 minutes to open. It rewards patience with a beguiling mélange of pure blackberry, raspberry, crushed violet and pencil shavings, very focused and mineral-driven. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiseled tannins. Compared to the robust, tannic GPL's of old, this is much more lithe and approachable, yet it still bears the DNA of this Pauillac estate. It might not possess the flair of other 2019 Left Banks, but that it is not what I seek from this estate. Classy and full of breeding - quintessential Pauillac. 95-97/100

Wine Cellar Insider om: Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 5eme Cru

Black currants, flowers, cedar, cigar wrapper and cassis meld together on the nose. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, round, concentrated, lush, deep and packed with sweet, juicy cassis and blackberries, ripe tannins, and a finish marked by the purity in the fruit with the structure of Pauillac. This will age gracefully for at least 3 decades or longer. 95-97/100
