Region: Bordeaux

Variety: 62% Cabernet Sauvignon || 29% Merlot || 9% Cabernet Franc

What's in the glass: 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. 92/100 Neal Martin, Vinous
