Tasting Notes

92
The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 21 Sep 22
Medium to deep garnet-brick colored, the 2003 Grand-Puy-Lacoste delivers notes of dried mulberries, fruitcake, and sandalwood, plus suggestions of cigar box and potpourri. The medium-bodied palate has ample fruit on the mid-palate with plush tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with impressive length.
Drinking Date: 2022 - 2035

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 20 Oct 21
The deep gravel soils that you find at Grand Puy Lacoste are not ideal for a vintage as hot and dry as 2003, and you do feel the impact of drier fruits, with fig and prune evident along with more generous blackberry and raspberry. Still has a fresh feel on the finish with fennel, eucalyptus and autumnal leaf aromatics. This is gentle and appealing, softer than many vintages but still with personality and hold. Harvest October 15 to 26, 70% new oak.
Drinking Date: 2021 - 2038

Vinous Neal Martin - 06 Jun 24
The 2003 Grand Puy Lacoste initially shows a little mustiness on the nose. It's tertiary, with gravel and vestiges of black fruit. A second bottle is much fresher and more vibrant, a success considering the vintage. White pepper and clove notes are pretty grippy, with touches of cooked meat becoming spicier towards the finish. A little untamed, which is unusual for this Pauillac, but then again, why not once in a while? Tasted at the château.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2036
