Lacoste Borie, Pauillac 2010

"The nose has nicely defined cedar and black pepper with hints of struck match and bacon. The palate has softened out wonderfully, but retains structural liquorice and cocoa-infused tannins. There is a succulent black fruit edge, with savoury hints of tobacco and some herbaceousness behind." - Decanter

"Licorice and violets with berries and currants and spices. Full and silky. Very fine." - James Suckling
