2020 Lacoste Borie 6 Pack

92 POINTS

Georgina Hindle - Decanter

Perfumed blackcurrants and damons, a nice push of perfumed fruit on the nose, full and juicy, really alive in the glass - you really get the Cabernet Franc aspects which are so nice. Super high acidity, really searing and bright, lovely energy and lightness of touch in the glass while still having the Pauillac signature. Minerality comes across in the wet stone, graphite edges which gives the gravel terroir. Bright and supple with controlled acidity, supple and plush tannins, really plush and high toned, fresh fruit. Feels well worked, focused and sleek - easy drinking.

Peter Moser - Falstaff Magazine

Intense ruby, purple reflections, subtle rim brightening. Floral touches, tobacco nuances, some liquorice, a leafy savouriness. Medium-bodied, red cherries, integrated tannins, a fresh structure, mineral and salty on the finish, slightly rustic.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate

A succulent, charming wine, the 2020 Lacoste-Borie bursts with aromas of sweet berries, cherries, crushed mint and creamy oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate. It's a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc, the latter amounting to the Borie family's entire production this year, as none made it into Grand-Puy-Lacoste.

Neal Martin - Vinous

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.
