Description

Tasting François-Xavier Borie’s wines is always a highlight, as the property is now producing some of the most attractive wines in the Médoc. The 2016 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is delicate and charming with an attractive nose of cassis, blackcurrant and dark fruit. The overall fruit quality is outstanding. It’s suave and generous on the palate, with fresh black fruit and a rich fleshy texture. The long finish continues for several seconds.

Critics reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 94+/100
The deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Grand-Puy-Lacoste gives up pure kirsch and red and black currants with violets and baking spices. Medium-bodied, firm and grainy, it's very expressive with good concentration and length.Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 30/11/2018

This is all about the finish with a sweet-tobacco, berry and light milk-chocolate character. Full body, very fine tannins and a juicy finish. Love the intensity and finesse at the end. Lots of energy. Could better the exquisite 2014. james_suckling - April 2017
