    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    There weren't many second wines that wowed us in 2021, but Lacoste Borie certainly did. Well done to Xavier and Emeline Borie. Lovely aromatic complexity, fine, grown-up flavours, perfumed, charming, intricate and layered. More voluptuous and accessible due to the quality of the Merlot. 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc.

    The 2021 Lacoste-Borie from Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a deep garnet-purple color. It is a little subdued to begin, offering glimpses at redcurrant jelly and stewed plum scents, plus hints of tar and black truffles. The medium-bodied palate is lively with firm, grainy tannins and plenty of expressive black fruits, finishing with a savory lift.

    The 2021 Lacoste-Borie has an attractive, earthy nose with touches of warm gravel infusing the black fruit, lighter compared to recent vintages, but clean and fresh. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly tangy entry and a little more boldness and fruit concentration than the nose suggests, a liberal splash of black pepper on the finish. This is maybe an earlier-drinking Lacoste-Borie, but it will age nicely over 12 to 15 years.

    Juicy but restrained slate-textured tannins holding together blackcurrant and black cherry fruits. This has high acidities that make things are a little abrupt on the finish but this has a ton of Pauillac character, 40hl/h yield (35hl/h yield after selection).
