Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a Fifth Growth estate located in Pauillac, Bordeaux. Under the ownership of François-Xavier Borie, consistency and quality has increased notably and the château now enjoys a reputation as a producer of excellent, yet classical, Left Bank Bordeaux. Expect cassis and bilberry character with violet nuances and silky tannins.
The 2006 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is an impressive wine for the vintage. Though this example was poured blind at the property, I have encountered better bottles, and this shows a little volatility on the nose. The palate has plenty of concentration, more like a 2005 in style with plush blackberry and blueberry fruit. Good grip and assertive on the finish, this is a delicious Pauillac, although I leave a question mark against my score simply because I know it can show better. Tasted at the château.
