Vinous, April 2020

Two bottles of the 2010 Grand Puy-Lacoste were opened, the first showing just a little oxidation. The second has an attractive minty bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit laced with subtle marine/seaweed notes, a...

Decanter, May 2021

Freshness and seamless elegance, with vivid, bright red and black fruit. Floral aspects evoke a sense of Margaux elegance, but the palate’s noticeable grip and backbone remind you that this is Pauillac. From vines on deep...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, October 2023

With seemingly endless layers of black and red fruit, salty rocks, flowers, tobacco leaf, and spearmint on the nose, and palate, this keeps on developing in the right direction. Concentrated, vibrant, and full-bodied...

View From The Cellar, September 2014

This is super. It has everything needed to compete with the big boys, except the price. With layer after layer of ripe, sweet, fresh, pure fruits, great textures, refined tannins and a long finish, when this hits...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, March 2014

Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux 2010 tasting. There is a strong marine influence on the Grand Puy Lacoste 2010: seaweed and brine infused into the black fruit. It is very well defined and focused, building in...

jamessuckling.com, November 2013

Intense hazelnuts and blackberries on the nose follow through to a full to medium body, with chocolate and berry flavors and firm tannins. Not giving away a lot at the finish at the moment. Reserved and sophisticated. But...

janeanson.com, September 2024

Intense and closed off at first, full of espresso and bitter black chocolate. I have tasted this a few times over the past few years, and it is still not budging. There is plenty of loganberry and blackcurrant fruit here...

Wine Enthusiast, June 2011

(WE92-94 points) Very densely tannic wine the dry character of the wine a major element. This dryness gives the wine power without the fruit at this stage. It does have the weight for the future. - R.V.

, April 2011

60% cabernet sauvignon and 40% merlot. A 40 hectare estate. The wine is aged for 18-24 months in 30-40% new French oak. The floral bouquet on the nose is laden with aromas of lavender and violet. On the palate loads of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, March 2020

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a little subdued to begin, opening out to reveal notes of black cherries, stewed plums and blackberry preserves with hints of bouquet garni, tapenade and dried lavender...

Wine Spectator, March 2013

This is dense but silky around the edges, with crushed plum and black currant fruit lined with roasted vanilla bean, tobacco and loam notes. Everything hangs solidly through the finish, lined with finely beaded acidity...

The Wine Independent, September 2022

The 2010 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is medium to deep garnet in color. It storms out of the glass with notions of creme de cassis, plum pudding, and mocha, plus suggestions of sandalwood and unsmoked cigars. The medium-bodied...

The wines of Grand-Puy-Lacoste have a beautiful, deep color and the aromas are very pure and complex, subtle and refined. Depending on the vintage, one's first impression may be of ripe fruit or flowers, often toasted notes, spice and vanilla. With time it develops a remarkably full, rich character.

In the mouth one is struck by its elegant individuality. The flavors support and amplify its aromatic sensations with a notably large range of fruit, particularly cassis, which develops with age. The wines are well-built, with powerful tannic structure which never loses its silky smoothness.

By nature a wine for long aging, Grand-Puy-Lacoste needs between eight and ten years to reveal its full potential.
