The Château Lacoste-Borie 2014 is a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc picked September 25-October 9 at 33 hectoliter per hectare. It has a very seductive nose in the making, with ripe blackberries and blueberry scents, interwoven with incense and a touch of graphite–more sophisticated than I was expecting. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This is an elegant Lacoste-Borie with fine tannin, my only quibble being that the oak is a little too conspicuous toward the finish. Of course, that may be subsumed during the barrel aging. 89-91 points

This is often one of the best value wines in Bordeaux and so it is likely to prove in 2014. It`s a classic Pauillac, made in a comparatively forward style. Aromatic and appealing, with notes of liqourice, cassis and subtle, toasty oak, it`s a beautifully balanced second wine that often ages well, too. 92 points
