Tasting notes

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Lacoste-Borie gives up notes of warm cassis, Morello cherries and wild blueberries with hints of pencil shavings and bay leaves. Medium-bodied, the palate has a lively line and well-played, soft tannins with an herbal lift on the finish.

The 2017 Lacoste-Borie is a soft, easygoing wine to drink now and over the next few years. Sweet tobacco, mint, cedar and dried cherry give this mid-weight Pauillac lovely shades of complexity to match its mid-weight personality.

The 2017 Lacoste-Borie, the second wine of Lacoste-Borie, is plump, juicy and inviting. In other words, everything a second wine should be. The dark red and blue plum fruit is nicely pushed forward in this very pretty, supple Pauillac. Tasted two times.

The 2017 Lacoste-Borie has abundant red berry fruits on the nose, a little rustic maybe and strangely reminiscent of a Burgundy (at least for the first couple of minutes.) The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, plenty of tobacco-infused red and black fruit with a classic cedar finish. Quintessential Lacoste-Borie in many ways. Drink over the next 10-12 years.

The 2017 Lacoste Borie was picked from 15 to 29 September, cropped at 49hl/ha. It has a clean, fresh and slightly earthy bouquet, what you might call “classic” in style, perhaps not quite as precise as the 2016 but then again, few 2017s are. The palate is medium-bodied with firm and strict tannin, a little raw at the moment with a small attenuation on the slightly rough-hewn finish. Not bad although I would like to see more finesse by the time of bottling. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
