Tasting note
Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2010 compound of a very high majority of cabernet sauvignon (83%) offers a deep red color. The bouquet reveals very ripe blackcurrant perfumes, slightly spiced revealing the beautiful maturity of the grapes.
The attack on the palate grows louder and louder, suave then dense, it continues with a powerful well balanced tannic structure.
The unit: precise and complex coated with a beautiful freshness and a very long aromatic persistence gives much class to this great vintage.
2010 will be registered without any doubt in the beautiful story of the mythical years of our vineyard.
