Parker about Château Grand Puy Lacoste 1983
Medium garnet with considerable amber, this fully mature, uninspiring wine is open knit and ripe, with a rich, weedy, black currant aroma. A rapidly evolving wine, it exhibits good concentration, a round, gentle texture, and a decent finish with some dry tannin.
