2009 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Cru Classé Pauillac
2009 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Cru Classé Pauillac
"Dark and delicately spicy this a very complete medium-full bodied 2009 that's not a jot too ripe or too firm. Beautiful balance through the long polished finish. Drink or hold." March 2019, James Suckling 95pts
"Medium to deep garnet in color, the 2009 Grand-Puy-Lacoste opens with a nose of sweaty leather, damp earth, baked cherries and dried mulberries with touches of fried herbs, black olives and cast iron pan. Medium-bodied, firm and chewy, this is a more elegantly styled 2009 with provocative herbal sparks and a ferrous finish." March 2019, Robert Parker 92pts
