2018 Grand Puy Lacoste

8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot. The harvest took place from September 21 to October 5. Matured 75% in new barriques. Wonderful Pauillac perfume that radiates towards you. Wonderfully spicy and ethereally cool. The Cabernet fruit is so wonderfully intense with cherry, cassis, licorice and blackberry notes. Delicately fine aromas of leather and fine chocolate, with a hint of pepper. This freshness is simply wonderful and exudes a very special glow. An opulent attack with sensually sweet black fruit combined with a fresh, racy acidity. An incredibly juicy and refreshing body with lots of herbal flavors. Compared to the brilliant 17, this has even gained a little more. What a fullness, what elegance.
