If you want to understand why people fall for Pauillac, Grand-Puy-Lacoste is the wine to pour. Run by the Borie family since 1978, GPL is the benchmark traditionalist of the appellation: deep gravel over limestone, roughly 83% Cabernet Sauvignon in 2019, and a wine that tastes unmistakably of place year after year. The 2019 comes from a warm, balanced vintage that produced a rich, velvety version of the house style, a touch more approachable young than usual but built for the long haul. Cassis, cigar box and mint are its calling cards. Decant it now for a treat, or lay it down comfortably into the 2040s.
