Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste--Vintage 1978
Pauillac, 5me cru classé
Both levels: bottom neck or better. Lot 957 lightly bin soiled labels
"The first vintage made under the expert management of Jean-Eugene Borie and his son, Xavier, the 1978 remains a classic Pauillac with fine cellaring potential. Dark ruby garnet with a ripe, intense bouquet of cassis, fruit, cedar, and vanillin oakiness, this wine is rich, with excellent body and the tannins quickly melting away. It can be drunk now or cellared for another decade." Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (Jan 1998)
