Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Lacoste-Borie gives up notes of warm cassis, Morello cherries and wild blueberries with hints of pencil shavings and bay leaves. Medium-bodied, the palate has a lively line and well-played, soft tannins with an herbal lift on the finish. Drinking Window : 2020 - 2030. 89+

The 2017 Lacoste-Borie is a soft, easygoing wine to drink now and over the next few years. Sweet tobacco, mint, cedar and dried cherry give this mid-weight Pauillac lovely shades of complexity to match its mid-weight personality.

The second wine from Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is also a solid effort. The 2017 Lacoste-Borie checks in as 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc (from slightly higher yields). It offers plenty of dark, earthy fruit, some minerality and tobacco, medium body, and a silky, nicely balanced style on the palate. It’s going to drink nicely in its youth.

The 2017 Lacoste-Borie, the second wine of Grand-Puy-Lacoste, is plump, juicy and inviting. In other words, everything a second wine should be. The dark red and blue plum fruit is nicely pushed forward in this very pretty, supple Pauillac. Tasted two times.

The 2017 Lacoste Borie was picked from 15 to 29 September, cropped at 49hl/ha. It has a clean, fresh and slightly earthy bouquet, what you might call “classic” in style, perhaps not quite as precise as the 2016 but then again, few 2017s are. The palate is medium-bodied with firm and strict tannin, a little raw at the moment with a small attenuation on the slightly rough-hewn finish. Not bad although I would like to see more finesse by the time of bottling. Tasted twice with consistent notes.

This is bright, with extremely well-placed, juicy blue fruits with coffee touches, and a gorgeous sense of energy. It's a definite buy in this vintage, and should be great value. Technical director Christel Spinner has done a great job of delivering a focussed, finessed wine. I wouldn't wait too long to enjoy this, as it already has lots to enjoy. Harvested 15-29 September, yielding a fairly normal 49hl/ha, so we can safely say no frost here.
