Château Grand Puy Lacoste, 2014
Availability:In stock
Vintage: 2014
Size: 750ml
Ratings: Robert Parker Wine Advocate 92+, James Suckling 97, Wine Spectator 93, Wine Enthusiast 94, Decanter 95
Grape Blend: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot
The 2014 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a much more approachable nose than usual, vibrant with red cherries, wild strawberry and cedar aromas, backed up with mineral-soaked blackberry fruit. This gathers momentum wonderfully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. The acidity is very well judged with purity and elegance on the finish, if not the structure or backbone commonly found is very top vintages.

Description
Description
The history of Grand-Puy-Lacoste is fascinating in many ways. It is a family saga going back to the 16th century.
From Since the 16th century the property remained attached to a single family from generation to generation, in a direct line through marriage until 1920, before connecting with another family in 1978—the Borie.
Pauillac boasts more classed growths than any other commune, and its 18 classified properties are some of Bordeaux's finest. At the time of the classification, Grand-Puy-Lacoste was named a "fifth growth”; today, connoisseurs and wine writers (among the better-known is Hugh Johnson) agree that it deserves a higher ranking. There's no doubt about the considerable improvement in the wine's quality due to the care and effort it has received over the years.
