Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 5ème Cru Classé 2020

Wer Pauillac liebt, kommt an Grand-Puy-Lacoste nicht vorbei: Kein Pauillac ist typischer und nirgends gibt es neben den Premiers so viel Wein fürs Geld. Auch wenn der GPL nicht die Tiefe von Latour hat: In Jahren wie 2019 und 2020 kommt er verdammt nahe an die Premiers heran. „Magnificent.“ (Neal Martin in Vinous)

James Suckling: "This full-bodied red builds on the palate in a fantastic way with tight, compact tannins that grow and grow on the finish. Plenty of blackcurrant and graphite character and a flavorful finish. Same level as the excellent 2016." (96-97)

Neal Martin: "The 2020 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a very refined, almost understated bouquet at first, but it opens in glorious fashion to offer precise blackberry and wild strawberry fruit, crushed stone and wild mint, gaining intensity at its own pace. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine-grained tannins, a keen thread of acidity, layers of intense black fruit and quite a spicy, vibrant and certainly persistent finish. This is a brilliant GPL from the Borie family." (95-97)
