Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste, 5eme Cru Classe, Pauillac 2000

"It has a brilliant nose of blackberry, crushed stone, graphite and cedar. Putting it to one side for ten to 15 minutes reveals subtle mint-like aromas that whisk you straight to Pauillac. The palate is smooth and silky, cloaking the tannic frame of this GPL so that you barely notice it. Then there is that hint of spice on the aftertaste—the show ain't over yet." - Wine Advocate
