95 Robert Parker
Another unbelievably rich, multidimensional, broad-shouldered wine, with slightly more elegance and less weight than the powerhouse 1996, this gorgeously proportioned, medium to full-bodied, fabulously ripe, rich, cassis-scented and flavored Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a beauty. It should be drinkable within 4-5 years, and keep for 25-30. This classic Pauillac is a worthy rival to the other-worldly 1996. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2025. Wow! What extraordinary wines Grand-Puy-Lacoste has produced in both 1995 and 1996. At present, I have a marginal preference for the blockbuster 1996, but I am not about to argue with anybody who prefers the 1995! Both are compelling wines.

Beautiful aromas of currant, plum and spice. Full-bodied, with a wonderful concentration of fruit, yet silky, racy and beautiful. Hold back on this. Better than I remember.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2008. –JS .

Producer
Château Grand Puy Lacoste
Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is the quintessential Pauillac estate, and has been producing admirable and classic Bordeaux reds for decades. One of the oldest family-owned châteaux in the appellation, the property has only been in the hands of three different families since the 16th century. The Borie family being the third, acquired Grand-Puy-Lacoste in 1978. Over three generations of the Borie linage have contributed to the winery’s illustrious reputation, today, second generation, François-Xavier along with his eldest daughter, Emeline manage the estate. Along the Gironde estuary’s Left Bank, the 90-hectare Médoc property dedicates 55-hectares mostly to Cabernet Sauvignon growth, as well as smaller plantings of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The classic Bordeaux château produces two first-class wines, both similarly owe its velvety backbone to Cabernet Sauvignon. The Grand Vin coming from this classified growth is a noble and powerful red, that is precise and elegant as much as it is robust, the Grand-Puy-Lacoste.
