    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!

    The 2019 Lacoste-Borie is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, and 9% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it skips out of the glass with cheery notes of kirsch, fresh blackcurrants, and black raspberries, plus hints of menthol, sandalwood, and tilled soil. Medium-bodied, the palate is delicately fruited and refreshing with a slight chewiness to the texture and a lifted finish.

    The 2019 Lacoste-Borie was impressive as a barrel sample sent to my home last spring. Now in bottle, it has a vivacious, quite floral, almost Margaux-like bouquet that bursts from the glass, featuring raspberry, rooibos and black currant aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with good concentration, a little spicier than I remember and a little softer in the finish, yet with good length and admirable harmony. It should drink nicely after a couple of years. 14.3% alcohol.
