Strong floral edge, rosebud and raspberry leaf, attractive smoke, not hugely intense but this is full of pleasing sappy red fruits, 38hl/h yield, 24% new oak for ageing, Borie family owners.

Inside Bordeaux

Medium intensity ruby red, good grip and slightly old schol tannins, but this has real charm and juice, savoury and easy to drink, good Pauillac typicity. 42% new oak (reduced down from 50% over last few years).

A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 9% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Lacoste-Borie is deep garnet-purple in color. It scoots out with eager-to-please scents of redcurrant jelly, fresh blackberries, and black raspberries, plus wafts of wild sage, roses, and tilled soil. The medium-bodied palate is bright and refreshing with soft tannins, leading to a perfumed finish on this pretty wine.

by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

Juicy but restrained slate-textured tannins holding together blackcurrant and black cherry fruits. This has high acidities that make things are a little abrupt on the finish but this has a ton of Pauillac character, 40hl/h yield (35hl/h yield after selection).

Lacoste-Borie 2020 from Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a deep garnet-purple color. It gives notes of fresh blackcurrant, mulberries, and ripe plums, plus touches of lavender, cast-iron pan, and bay leaves. The medium-bodied palate has a seriously refreshing backbone, with chewy tannins and just enough fruit, finishing with an invigorating savoriness.

Smoke and tar come in measured waves, along with fennel, tobacco and blackberry. Traces of the summer heat, this is enjoyable but struggles to maintain momentum against the tannic bite on the finish.

Middels rød farge. Urter, solbær og plomme på duft og smak. Fuldig, velbalansert vin med flott syrlighet og tørr utgang. Dekanter gjerne
