Description
The 2021 Lacoste-Borie is lovely, bursting with aromas of plums and cassis mingled with hints of orange zest, spices and espresso roast. Medium-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a charming core of fruit, supple tannins and a succulent, giving profile, it's already hard to resist. Readers looking for near-term, pleasure-bent drinking will find that this is one of the sleepers of the vintage.

There are dark fruits and Pauillac typicity, with baking spices, undergrowth, and slate character, but the acidity of the finish highlights the angular tannins.
Drink 2025 - 2036
The 2021 Lacoste-Borie has an attractive, earthy nose with touches of warm gravel infusing the black fruit, lighter than recent vintages but clean and fresh. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly tangy entry and a little more boldness and fruit concentration than the nose suggests, with a liberal splash of black pepper on the finish. This may be an earlier-drinking Lacoste-Borie, but it will age nicely over 12 to 15 years.
Drink 2024 - 2034
The 2021 Lacoste-Borie is a very pretty second wine. Crushed rose petal, mint, blood orange and white pepper add lovely aromatic presence to this silky, racy Pauillac. The balance here favours understatement and freshness in an almost Pinot-like way.

Lovely classic Cabernet typicity on the palate, the green pepper, the eucalyptus, liquorice, crushed stone and such freshness and mintiness. This has power and structure; it’s clearly intense and concentrated, but the tannins are so well executed. The acidity gifts lift while the other elements settle on the tongue, really pronounced, filling the mouth. This is seductive, no wallflower with satin tannins. It’s a blockbuster of a second wine here. One of the more potent and powerful second wines but with excellent capacity to give enjoyment, screaming: ‘Drink me!’.
Drink 2024 - 2034
Perfumed and nicely polished second wine of Grand-Puy-Lacoste with pretty sandalwood, blackberry and currant notes. Some fresh herbs and mocha, too. Nicely framed with fleshy tannins.
