2013 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

A wine that has energy and is light on its feet. The nose jumps out the glass (even by GPL standards), with red currant, cherry and beautiful mint and hedgerow lift. This is all matched by a touch of spice from the oak. As always one of the most appealing noses in Pauillac! A streamlined and focused palate, offering cherry and raspberry fruit. An overall freshness and energy with enough flesh to balance the spice from the oak that adds length to the finish. As always this is a composed and whilst not the grandest or long lived GPL, if priced well this is a great buy to drink whilst waiting for the 2009 and 2010.

The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
