2019 Lacoste Borie (Pauillac)

Media Reviews

Neal Martin

The 2019 Lacoste-Borie was impressive as a barrel sample sent to my home last spring. Now in bottle, it has a vivacious, quite floral, almost Margaux-like bouquet that bursts from the glass, featuring raspberry, rooibos and black currant aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with good concentration, a little spicier than I remember and a little softer in the finish, yet with good length and admirable harmony. It should drink nicely after a couple of years. 14.3% alcohol. 92 points

Some traces of the warmth of summer here in that fruits are brambly with traces of fig and just a little soft on the finish. It`s still a great quality Pauillac and one that will deliver this well-loved 2nd wine`s signature success, but I`d pick the 2018 or 2016 as more representative of what it can do at its best. 91 points

62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc. Barrel sample. Cabernet cassis and graphite nose. Juicy and concentrated on the palate with just a hint of oak. Solid tannic frame behind. Dry, grainy finish. Serious little number. 16.5+ points
