2002 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Monday, May 6, 2024 - 13% alcohol. Very good cork with barely 2mm of wine penetration. Decanted an hour ahead. The colour is dark with minimal signs of ageing.
The nose is an interesting mix with tertiary notes of leather, ink and confectionery allied to a fresh and vigorous frame evoking stems (in a good way) and menthol. The mouth is consistent with the nose, with freshness and structure ahead of opulence, although the tannins are largely resolved.
A vg Pauillac, but probably not one for hedonists, as RP used to say; plenty of grip here.
Yet another highly successful 2002 from Northern Médoc.
