Lacoste Borie other_regions but short of the realLacoste Borie is the second wine of Pauillac fifth growth Grand Puy Lacoste. While the 2010 grand vins are not yet in their drinking window, this will fit the bill. The nose has nicely defined cedar and black pepper with hints of struck match and bacon. The palate has softened out wonderfully, but retains structural liquorice and cocoa infused tannins. There is a succulent black fruit edge, with savoury hints of tobacco and some herbaceousness behind.
