2015 | Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste 'Lacoste-Borie' | Pauillac Marquis de Calon 4% cabernet franc and 4%The 2015 Lacoste Borie is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. It has a slightly muted bouquet, tobacco tinged black fruit that gently opens in the glass. The palate is medium bodied with grainy tannin, foursquare in the mouth with that tobacco theme continuing. Linear, a little aloof at the moment, I would hope that more flesh can come through towards the spicy finish that cuts away a little swiftly. Wine Advocate
