    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Emeline Borie describes 2020 as a more “classical in style” than 2018 and 2019. There isn’t any of the flamboyance that we’ve witnessed in the preceding two vintages. This is back to classical lines, structure and refinement. The second label, Lacoste Borie is as charming as ever with plenty of beautifully pitched fragrant sweet red berries. Classic, correct, enough weight; this promises to be an excellent early drinker.

    Lacoste-Borie 2020 from Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a deep garnet-purple color. It gives notes of fresh blackcurrant, mulberries, and ripe plums, plus touches of lavender, cast-iron pan, and bay leaves. The medium-bodied palate has a seriously refreshing backbone, with chewy tannins and just enough fruit, finishing with an invigorating savoriness.

    The 2020 Lacoste-Borie, which comes in a new label, has an attractive nose with black fruit, pencil shavings and light minty aromas that remain in the background. Fine delineation, though not powerful. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins on the entry, a mixture of red and black fruit, hints of brine and cracked black pepper with an easygoing, seaweed-tinged finish that suggests this will just require a couple of years in bottle.
