Tasting note
This Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2002 presents a very deep intense ruby red color.
The nose is very tempting, powerfull with blackcurrent aromas, notes of cherry jam and blackberries. The all is raised by the liquorice and the spices .
On the palate, this wine is perfectly ripe with strong tannins. It has a beautiful lenght. A fleshy, delicate and male palate!
This GPL develops a great fruit balance, subtly spiced where we find a nice expression of the terroir for this typical Pauillac estate.
