The Château Lacoste-Borie 2014 is a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc picked September 25-October 9 at 33 hectoliter per hectare. It has a very seductive nose in the making, with ripe blackberries and blueberry scents, interwoven with incense and a touch of graphite–more sophisticated than I was expecting. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This is an elegant Lacoste-Borie with fine tannin, my only quibble being that the oak is a little too conspicuous toward the finish. Of course, that may be subsumed during the barrel aging.

67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. 33 hl/ha. 
Attractive freshness and ease on the nose – nothing forced. Sinews and by no means opulent but correct and fresh. Though a little drying on the end. Relatively light but a nice, satisfying finish. Made to be a luncheon claret!

Lovely Pauillac with blackcurrant fruit and fine balance – 'a wine that sings', according to owner François-Xavier Borie. Drink: 2017-2022 (88)

Fresh and clean with citrus and berry character. Medium body, firm tannins and a clean finish. Lean and clean.
