Score 62/100 · Drink 1977, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
Beginning to fall apart, this wine was fully mature by 1977. Quite brown in color, with an oxidized, stale, faded bouquet, it has soft, dissipated, fruity flavors, and no tannin present. This wine possesses plenty of sharp acidity. Anticipated maturity: Now-probably in serious decline. Last tasted, 7/77.

About the producer

Grand Puy Lacoste
In 1978 the Borie family took over Grand-Puy-Lacoste and Xavier Borie has been making exceptional wines here ever since. With 58 hectares of vines around the château, this is a wine with real Pauillac style.
