Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a Fifth Growth estate located in Pauillac, Bordeaux. Now under the ownership of François-Xavier Borie, consistency and quality has certainly increased over the last decade and the château now enjoys a reputation as a producer of excellent, yet classical, Left Bank Bordeaux.

The 2000 vintage was generally considered to be of exceptional quality and this wine is composed of a typically high portion of Cabernet Sauvignon (78%), with Merlot (20%) and Cabernet Franc (2%) in support. Grand-Puy-Lacoste often requires considerable cellaring and now, with 20 years on the clock, this is moving into its prime drinking phase, having gained greater savoury complexity and offering softer, silkier tannins.

94 Vinous
The 2000 Grand Puy-Lacoste is quintessential Pauillac on the nose, showing more secondary development compared to the last bottle tasted five years back. Blackberry, wild hedgerow, black tea and cloves appear first, followed later by subtle minty aromas, all well defined, intense and classic in style. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and a little more ferrous than I recall, offering moderate weight and a saline, structured finish. There is plenty of freshness and good length here. This still-vibrant GPL will appeal to those yearning for old-school claret.
16.5 Jancis Robinson
Very, very deep, dark crimson. Scented. A bit dry and solid. Even quite loose. No real concentration, lift, or excitement. (JR)
