Ch Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Pauillac 2008
Ch Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Pauillac 2008 "There is a floral appeal to the nose violets overlaying fragrant bramble and bilberry. The palate is power packed, lots of ripe fruit backed by coffee, dark chocolate and black truffles. Underlying red fruits lighten and give brightness ensuring an elegant twist on the finish." Score: 92-95 Derek Smedley MW "This has a lovely, far more expressive nose than I expected with black cherries, a touch of iodine and violets (redolent of the superlative 2006) with superb definition. Just a faint hint of oyster shells. The palate is full-bodied, fully ripe tannins, a little more rounded than usual but superb depth, a wine that really caresses the palate. Blackberry, a touch of briary and cedar with a dash of vanillary new oak towards the finish. Superb length. Up there with Pichon Lalande. This is a more feminine GPL compared to other vintages, but one imbued with great breeding. Excellent." Score: 92-94 Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com "Offers cassis and dried raisin on the nose, with hints of flowers. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a clean finish. I would like to see a little more fruit in this." Score: 87-90 James Suckling, WineSpectator.com
