Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste, 5eme Cru Classe, Pauillac 2016

"Pure, precise and refined aromas of blue fruit, cherries, currants, fresh herbs, green olives and a hint of graphite. On the palate it is refined and medium-bodied. The tannins are firm but quite woven and dusty, with a juicy core of fruit and a long, fresh finish. Understated and nuanced. It goes on for a minute. 79% cabernet sauvignon and 21% merlot. Classic but not opulent. A joy to drink now, but will age for decades." – James Suckling

"The 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." – Wine Advocate
