Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2018 is a Bordeaux red wine from the Pauillac appellation, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (78%) from a single continuous vineyard next to Mouton Rothschild. The 2018 vintage, with its ripe fruit and structured tannins, yields a wine of immense depth and traditional Pauillac character. It offers concentrated aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, cigar box and fine graphite, underpinned by firm, seamlessly integrated tannins and a fresh acidity. This wine is defined by its elegance, length, and remarkable purity, demanding a minimum of a decade in the cellar to fully resolve and express its potential.

The 10 year window for this wine, and it has softened up a little even over the past 6 months since I tasted it for 10 Years On. Sculpted, a little austere, and majors on the rose bud, cassis bud and ash aromatics that suggest a cooler vintage - this year was extremely dry for much of it, but not hot. Juicy redcurrant and blackcurrant fruits, a classic Grand Puy Lacoste in the line of 2014 and 2016, ticking plenty of house-style boxes, making it a great choice for lovers of this estate. No need to wait too long from now, although it will hold. Harvest 15 to 29 September.Jane Anson20th October 2021

The 2011 Grand Puy Lacoste feels a little more open than its peers, scents of black cherries, star anis and juniper, playful and full of energy. The palate is ripe and quite sweet on the entry, good body, even a bit viscous in texture with a plush and generous, lightly spiced finish. Thoroughly enjoyable, though it just misses a sense of direction and precision. I will seek to reassess this at the château. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.Neal Martin1st April 2022
