Sunday Magnum: Ch Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2010

Every Sunday, working with the redoubtable Tuggy Meyer of Huntsworth Wines opposite the pub, we open a big bottle or two of superior wine and sell it by the glass and carafe. This Sunday's offering is magnums of Ch Grand Puy Lacoste 2010, a correctly cellared 5eme Cru from Pauillac.

"An attractive minty bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit laced with subtle marine/seaweed notes, a touch of graphite developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with impressive tension and wonderful freshness right from the start. There is a sense of coiled up energy here and the finish just leaves you breathless. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal. Drink 2023 to 2055." (A slightly over-excitable Neal Martin pronouncing on this wine in 2020.)

The very best of vineyards is the cellar."
