Chateau Grand-Puy Lacoste 2006
5th grand cru pauillac classification
95/100 James Suckling
"Excellent balance, finesse, and precision on the nose, with notes of graphite, clove, plum, and a touch of leather. Light on the palate, it displays balance, finesse, and complexity. The finish is long and still firm, with fine-grained tannins. 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot. Enjoy now or over the next few years. From a vertical tasting at the estate."
