Lacoste-Borie – Pauillac – Red – 2018 – 375 ml:

 

Lacoste Borie: Pauillac Pedigree at an Approachable Price

As the acclaimed Second Wine of Fifth Growth Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Lacoste Borie delivers the classic elegance and structure of a top Pauillac. Sourced from the estate’s exceptional gravel terroir, this wine is crafted to offer early-drinking pleasure while retaining the depth and complexity of its Grand Cru Classé lineage.

Tasting Notes: The Essence of Cabernet Sauvignon

• Appearance: Deep, alluring garnet color.
• Nose: Pronounced aromas of ripe blackcurrant (cassis), wild berries, licorice, and a sophisticated touch of cedar and cigar wrapper.
• Palate: Medium to full-bodied, fleshy, and seamless. The Cabernet Sauvignon dominance ensures a firm backbone, balanced by ripe, well-integrated tannins and succulent acidity. It finishes long, fresh, and perfectly harmonious.

Pairing and Service Recommendations

This is a wine built for the dinner table. Serve at 62-65°F (17-18°C). While enjoyable upon release, a few hours of decanting will greatly enhance the aromatic profile. Pair with premium cuts of beef or game to fully appreciate its structure.
