Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The 2018 Grand-Puy-Lacoste displays a deep garnet-purple color and slowly emerging notes of ripe blackberries, blackcurrant pastilles and redcurrant jelly plus hints of cedar, underbrush, cinnamon stick and potpourri. The medium-bodied palate has well-managed, slightly chewy tannins and a refreshing line lifting the black and red berry layers, finishing earthy.
Vinous: 92 Points
The 2018 Lacoste-Borie is plump, silky and absolutely delicious. Bright red cherry, plum and mocha add lovely shades of nuance throughout. I would prefer to drink this succulent, mid-weight Pauillac over the next handful of years, while it retains its youthful juiciness. The blend is 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. Tasted two times.
Decanter: 90 Points
This is star bright and juicy, and certainly settles in the glass to show its rich tannic structure. It's not as creamy through the mid-palate as in 2015 or 2016 but there's no question that Lacoste-Borie is a sure-fire quality choice and this is a lovely wine.
