Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 2013 Pauillac 75cl / 13.5%

A bottle of 2013 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste Grand Cru Classé from Bordeaux's Pauillac appellation.

'The 2013 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, wild strawberry and cedar fruit, nicely composed and delineated, not complex but harmonious. As usual, there is a conservative element to the aromatics in keeping with this estate's style. The palate is medium-bodied with appreciable mineralité on the entry. I like the edginess here, the framework and in particular the finesse that is not always apparent at Grand-Puy-Lacoste, at least at this early juncture. It might not be a long-term proposition, but it is certainly one of the finest Pauillac wines of the vintage courtesy of Xavier and Emeline Borie. 90/100' Neal Martin, RobertParker.com, tasted 2016
