Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

Peter van den Besselaar

Vintage 2006 - combines power with elegance. Velvety taste. Evolution in colour, very rich nose with chocolate, cedar, red fruit. #pauillac

Matt Duncan

Youthful acid overtaken by stark tannins and underdeveloped progression.

Another Weekly Wine Committee, this time hosted by @Weston Eidson and @Benjamin Keator ! They knocked it out of the park with French wines! As always, all wines are tasted blind. Another Bordeaux wine that exhibited classic notes, but this one was juicer than the first. Cranberries, plums and herbs.

Matt Lasater

Too young. No surprise there. Tannins are firm and tertiary notes starting to come around. Dark and earthy.

Paul Boswell

Dense, dark, brooding. Still very young; needed some time to breathe but opened beautifully. Despite its high cost, you can taste the breeding.

Guillermo Gonzalez

Celebrated NYE early. Decanted for a couple hours. Faint raspberries. Some earthy notes developing. Integrates nicely. Had with beef Wellington v 2.0

Michael Coscetta

Let it breathe!

Martijn

Good wine. Typical smokiness. Some sweet red fruit present. Drinking smoothly. I do not see this getting better although everything is there for quite some years (fruit, tanins).

Eric Hoepelman

Wow. Zo heerlijk. Dank, kelderopruimers!

Nigel Waller

Absolutely delicious with minimal sediment. Great balance. Smooth. Drank almost the whole bottle! Hic!
