Lacoste Borie 2021

Lovely classic Cabernet typicity on the palate, the green pepper, the eucalyptus, liquorice, crushed stone and such freshness and mintiness. This has power and structure, it’s clearly intense and concentrated but the tannins are so well executed. The acidity gifts lift while the other elements settle on the tongue, really pronounced, filling the mouth. This is seductive, no wallflower with satin tannins. A blockbuster of a second wine here. One of the more potent and powerful second wines but with excellent capacity to give enjoyment, screaming: ‘drink me!’. Drinking Window: 2024-2034. Score – 91. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com)
