Critics Ratings
"Deep purple-black colour. Juicy and exuberant with dark-fruit, floral and graphite notes. Hint of vanilla oak as well. Tannins firm behind. Structured and expressive. Better balance than 2018 but not quite the class of 2020." - James Lawther MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17+/20 (Sep 2025)
"The 2019 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a well-defined bouquet with cedar and graphite infused black fruit, hints of pencil shavings, controlled and refined. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, taut and fresh with a pixelated and mineral-driven finish, lingering long in the mouth. What a heavenly 2019 Pauillac. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting." - Neal Martin, Vinous, 97/100 (Jan 2023)
"Dark but vibrant and racy, with sleek black currant, blackberry and black cherry puree flavors coursing through, pierced by a graphite spine and backed by tobacco, singed alder and freshly plowed humus notes. The long finish has a smoldering hint without sacrificing the purity of the fruit. Rock-solid. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot." - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 95/100 (Mar 2022)
