    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Lacoste Borie, Pauillac, 2016

    If Xavier Borie's wonderful Grand Puy Lacoste doesn't offer enough value for money, then Lacoste Borie, the highly impressive second wine of this high flying 5th growth Chateau should do the trick! This has become a firm favourite of ours and discerning restaurants. Produced from 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc it is very much a little GPL with its beautifully Cabernet scented bouquet of violets, cassis and gravel. There is admirable tension and verve; the fruit is juicy, pure and mouth-watering. Excellent value!

    Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent
    Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Lacoste-Borie wafts out of the glass with notions of juicy black plums, kirsch, and raspberry leaves, plus suggestions of tar and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate delivers a great core of fresh black berry flavors with chewy tannins and an earthy finish.
