Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 2002 - Bordeaux
Pauillac, Bordeaux A light wine by the standards of this property, this herbaceous, spicy, red currant and plum-scented wine shows weedy notes of green tea intermixed with cherries and some washed-out red currants. It is a pleasant, picnic-styled Grand-Puy-Lacoste to drink during its first 5-7 years of life. - Rated 86, Robert Parker Cassis and berry aromas, with hints of fresh herbs. Medium- to full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a medium finish. A slight herbal character brings it down.–JS - Rated 85-88, Wine Spectator

It is only the quest for excellence during the XVIIIth century that led the owners to elaborate several wines of different quality. Severe selecting is the guarantee of quality of...

Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste Bordeaux 1996
Pauillac, Bordeaux This is unquestionably a profound Grand-Puy-Lacoste, but it is excruciatingly backward. It reveals an essence of creme de cassis character which sets it apart from other Pauillacs. The wine is displaying plenty of tannin, huge body, and sweet black currant fruit intermixed with minerals and subtle oak. Massive, extremely structured, and with 25-30 or more years of longevity, this immensely-styled Grand-Puy-Lacoste will require 7-8 years of patience, perhaps longer. A superb, classic Pauillac. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030. - Rated 93, Robert Parker A seamless, pretty '96 claret. Extremely fruity aromas of plums and blackberries. Medium-bodied, with polished tannins and silky texture. Best after 2001. 14,000 cases made. - Rated 90, Wine Spectator
