A great expression of the 2022 vintage with an intense crimson red color. The nose combines floral (violets), spicy and fruity (blueberry) fragrances with refreshing graphite notes. The smooth and dense attack precedes a fresh and balanced palate, which releases its richness, complexity, and elegance throughout the tasting. By nature a wine for long aging, Grand-Puy-Lacoste needs time to reveal its full potential. 79% Cabernet Sauvignon & 21% Merlot

Critic Reviews
James Suckling
96-97 Points
96-97 Points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: “Beautiful texture here. Tannins are dense and compact but finely polished and silky. Seamless and even with length and succulence. Medium- to full-bodied. Power with elegance. Endless for this. Finally the best ever.” 04/23
Antonio Galloni
92-94.5 Points
92-94.5 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2022 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a very pretty wine. Forward and quite showy, the 2022 comes across as a wine that will drink well with minimal cellaring. Succulent dark cherry, plum, leather, incense and dried herbs are nicely delineated. There’s good complexity and depth, but it is the radiance of the year that is front and center. Hints of blood orange, pomegranate, spice and a pretty rose petal/violet note linger." 4/23
Neal Martin
96-98 Points
96-98 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2022 Grand Puy Lacoste was picked from 7 to 23 September and contains more Merlot due to the high quality of the fruit, matured in 75% new oak. There is 14.2% alcohol. Therefore, this lends this GPL a little more precocity and sensuality compared to other vintages, not cut from the same "classical" cloth as, say, the 2019 or 2020. Underlying this velvety veneer are enticing traits of freshly-rolled tobacco and undergrowth. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-sculpted tannins. Silky smooth in texture, so much so that it belies that backbone underneath. There is a peacock's tail of mineral-rich, quite peppery black fruit on the finish, completing a Pauillac endowed with huge potential." 4/23
Wine Advocate
95-97 Points
95-97 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "A blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot, the 2022 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a brilliant classic in the making, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, violets and pencil shavings, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated palate that exhibits beautiful structural refinement and purity of fruit. Classy and integrated, it is somewhat reminiscent of a modern-day and less forbiddingly structured version of this estate's brilliant 1982." 4/23
