Tasting Notes: The 2020 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is excellent, offering up aromas of cassis and plums mingled with pencil shavings, violets and loamy soil framed by a touch of creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, pure and fleshy, with lively acids, powdery tannins and good depth at the core, its supple, charming style belies considerable ageing potential. It's a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot. Score: 94+, William Kelley for Robert Parker, RobertParker.com, April 2023
