Situated in Pauillac, Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a prestigious Fifth Growth estate owned by the Borie family. Made with slightly more Cabernet Sauvignon that is usual for Grand Puy Lacoste, this 2005 offers elegant dark fruits and black cherry notes along with hints of pencil shavings and liquorice. Presented here in a magnum bottle.

One of the 2005s that I have drunk most regularly, and it always delivers. Still on top form for this tasting, dark ruby in colour, primary in its fruit expression. Tightrope balance of fruit and tannins, just emerging into its drinking window. Pencil lead, smoked earth, sandalwood, spice, eucalyptus, mint, pencil lead, cassis. A 40 year wine from this point on. Appellation signature in a glass. Needs carafing to fully open up, and then it's game on. Harvest September 22 to October 5, 70% new oak.Jane Anson14th September 2022

This estate's finest wine of the decade is the 2005 Grand-Puy-Lacoste, a fleshy, sumptuous wine evocative of cassis, sweet red berries and cigar box, framed by a touch of creamy new oak that integrates with opening. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with an enveloping core of fruit, rich tannins and a seamless but authoritative profile, it concludes with a long, resonant finish. Just entering early maturity, it will continue to develop for several decades.William Kelley21st December 2023

The 2005 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a punchy bouquet of red and black fruit with light touches of wild mint and sage. This is actually a little Right Bank in style so it lacks a bit of typicité. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins on the entry, slightly savoury red berry fruit and hints of iodine and sage. The 2005 is quite a medicinal G.P.L., with an open finish to suggest that bottles can be drunk now and over the next 15 to 20 years. Tasted at the château. Neal Martin17th June 2025
