Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Pauillac, France 2016 Meursault full bodied and with aA neoclassical edition of Grand Puy Lacoste, this has cedar, graphite, deeply integrated cedar and spicy oak influence and a very fresh array of ripe blackberries, dark cherries and cassis. The palate is so seamless. It builds beautifully and delivers a long, seamless array of perfectly ripe dark fruit, swathed in fine, firm, ascending layers of tannins. As good as we have seen in recent vintages, this is a star of the vintage. 97 Pts James Suckling
