Product Description
VM97 (Grand-puy-lacoste Grand Puy Lacoste Red) The 2010 Grand Puy-Lacoste has a wonderful bouquet with vibrant blackberry, sous-bois, mint and rose petal aromas that soar from the glass as if there is not tomorrow. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, pure blackberry and raspberry fruit laced with cedar, tobacco and a touch of mint. This has always been one of the great modern-day Grand Puy-Lacostes and it will continue to drink for many many years. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the BI Wines & Spirits 10-Year On tasting.
DR96 Freshness and seamless elegance, with vivid, bright red and black fruit. Floral aspects evoke a sense of Margaux elegance, but the palate’s noticeable grip and backbone remind you that this is Pauillac. From vines on deep gravels, ideal for ripening the 75% plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon. Such refinement and power go with prime rib in a truffle sauce.
