Christopher Piper Wines MAGNUM Château Grand Puy Lacoste 2009
Brand: Christopher Piper Wines
5eme Cru Classé PauillacTasting notesThis is a very good vintage with quality underlined by cabernets sauvignons of exceptional nobility. This wine presents a very deep, dark red colour. The "bouquet” reveals aromas of complex fruits and hints of ripe blackcurrant. The attack on the palate is precise, very dense, and follows with an exceptional velvety richness. The tannins are suave and elegant. It shows a beautiful complexity, combining smoothness and purity. A very well balanced wine with a spectacular length. In one word, a Grand Puy Lacoste with the promise of a bright future!The estate derives its name from a member of the Bordeaux Parliament, Monsieur Lacoste, who owned the château during the 16th century. The words Grand-Puy, which means a large knoll, refer to the elevation upon which the vineyards sit. These are deep-coloured wines rich in cedarwood and cigar-box character - perfect illustrations of the best Pauillac terroirs.
