Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 1995 Pauillac

Château Grand Puy Lacoste

力強さの奥に宿る、静かな気品。

1995年はボルドー左岸の優れた年で、ポイヤックではカベルネ・ソーヴィニヨンの完成度が高く、クラシックで長命なスタイルと評価されています。カシスやブラックベリーの凝縮した果実香に、シダー、葉巻、鉛筆の芯、スパイスのニュアンスが幾重にも重なり、熟成した現在は伝統的なポイヤックの魅力が美しく表れる時期。タンニンは美しく溶け込み、端正な構造美が長い余韻へと続きます。炭火で焼いた和牛サーロインとともに。

Tasting note

1995 was an excellent vintage for the Left Bank of Bordeaux, particularly for Pauillac, where the Cabernet Sauvignon achieved exceptional ripeness, highly regarded for its classic and long-lived style. Now, having matured, it is entering a period where the traditional charms of Pauillac are beautifully expressed, showcasing notes of cassis, cedar, cigar box, graphite, and earthiness.
