Fresh herbs and graphite highlight the wine. Chewy finish. Needs time to soften. Better after 2022.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e93\/100, James Suckling, Feb'2020\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“This is bright, with extremely well-placed, juicy blue fruits with coffee touches, and a gorgeous sense of energy. It's a definite buy in this vintage, and should be great value. Technical director Christel Spinner has done a great job of delivering a focussed, finessed wine. I wouldn't wait too long to enjoy this, as it already has lots to enjoy. Harvested 15-29 September, yielding a fairly normal 49hl\/ha, so we can safely say no frost here.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e92\/100, Jane Anson, Decanter, Apr'2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A taut and minerally version, defined by a chalky underpinning that harnesses the core of damson plum, bitter cherry and red currant fruit. Streaks of cedar, chestnut and bay leaf mark the finish. Shows the austere, iron-driven side of Pauillac. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2023 through 2038. 10,000 cases made.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e92\/100, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2016 Vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003cem\u003eThe deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Grand-Puy-Lacoste gives up pure kirsch and red and black currants with violets and baking spices. Medium-bodied, firm and grainy, it's very expressive with good concentration and length.\u003c\/em\u003e” - \u003cstrong\u003eLisa-Brown Perroti, Robert Parker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eThe 2016 Grand Puy-Lacoste has a clean, precise bouquet with nicely detailed blackberry, briar and tobacco aromas, touches of mint emerging with time, all utterly charming. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, conveying a sense of symmetry throughout and leading into a deft, quite persistent finish. This is very classy, and it should age with style. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting.\u003c\/em\u003e” - \u003cstrong\u003eNeal Martin, Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste","offers":[{"title":"Single Bottle (750ml)","offer_id":48661267316928,"sku":null,"price":155.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Case of 6","offer_id":48661267349696,"sku":null,"price":840.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/6718\/7648\/files\/chateau-grandpuy-lacoste-2017_7b7f3383-5e0e-4323-95fd-6d15580bd28f.png?v=1785001172","url":"https:\/\/thewinemonk.com\/products\/chateau-grandpuy-lacoste-2017","provider":"The Wine Monk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
