Tasting note
2000 is a great vintage with exceptional cabernets sauvignons. This Grand Puy-Lacoste is presenting a beautiful dark red color.
The nose, very complex, reveals blackcurrant, tobacco and liquorice aromas. In the mouth, we have a lot of tanins which are very ripe. This wine is powerful and elegant with a beautifuk balance. All is smoothness and purity in mouth. A great success!
