    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    As always, one of the most charming and attractive second wines we taste, Lacoste Borie captures many of the qualities for GPL in a more forward, approachable style. One is immediately presented with gorgeous aromatics of violets, cedar and pure cassis. The clear fruited core has a wonderful texture, juicy and taut, bursting with fragrant berries and spices framed by smart tannins with the texture of polished stones. Culminating with a long, refreshing and salty finish. 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc.

    The 2023 Lacoste-Borie is deep garnet-purple in color. It features cheery notes of Morello cherries, wild strawberries, and fresh blackcurrants with hints of dried roses, cinnamon stick, and Provence herbs. The light to medium-bodied palate is refreshing and breezy, with a light grip of tannins, finishing savory. The blend is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and 11% Cabernet Franc.

    The 2023 Lacoste-Borie was picked September 11 to 28 at 48hL/ha. It bursts with red fruit on the nose—raspberry and wild strawberry—forward and quite generous in keeping with the vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannins on the entry. Moderately deep, it tapers slightly toward the graphite-infused finish. This Deuxième Vin has an easy-drinking sensibility and should be broached over the next decade.
