CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2022 Grand Puy Lacoste, observed out of barrel, offers a more sensual and generous bouquet than previous vintages, with blackberry, bilberry and cedar scents emerging from the glass with a hint of pencil box underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, showing more structure than it did from barrel, which is precisely what you want from this Pauillac estate. Tobacco and graphite notes towards the finish linger beautifully in classical style. This is a very impressive wine that will mature with panache and stature.

Tasted blind. Blackish crimson. Not much nose. Relatively soft and formless. Flattering initially but doesn t really have the structure for long-term ageing. [First bottle of this tasted yesterday at the Southwold tasting had TCA but the second one was extremely youthful and impressive - go figure.] (JR)
