TESTING
The brilliant 2005 Grand - Puy - Lacoste exhibits classic Pauillac aromas and
flavors of creme de cassis along with stony/floral notes. Proprietor Xavier Borie
has created a wine that should rival the brilliant 1982, 1990, 1996, and 2000. Full
- bodied with sweet tannin and superb length (a 40+ second finish), the purity
of this beauty’s black currant fruit is something to behold. Anticipated maturity:
2013 - 2030. /RP /Apr 2008
