Parker about Château Grand Puy Lacoste 2022
The 2022 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has turned out nicely in bottle, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis and plums mingled with notions of rose petal, tobacco leaf and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, bright and velvety, with a layered core of fruit and powdery structuring tannins, it's beautifully balanced.

Suckling over Château Grand Puy Lacoste 2022
Licorice with tapenade, cassis, roasted spices and a touch of bergamot and pencil shavings. Full-bodied and structured, this has filigreed tannins in a very dusty, almost powdery form. Really youthful and long. Juicy and compact with spot-on balance. 79% cabernet sauvignon, 21% merlot. Give it at least three years to unwind and develop complexity.Zekun Shuai Senior Editor

The precise acidity and the mineral note of the terroir ensure balance and impressive complexity. The finish is long and elegant, accompanied by spicy, fruity notes, indicating the wine's great aging potential. Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2022 is a wine of outstanding quality that already delights in its youth, but will benefit from further aging potential for years to come.
