2017 Grand Puy Lacoste

The Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2017 is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot and was aged in French oak barriques, 75% new. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it opens with notes of fresh black raspberries, kirsch and crushed black and red currants with hints of spice box, fragrant earth and potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied, playful and fresh with a moderate level of approachable, soft tannins and convincing restraint on the finish.
