James Suckling:

"This is all about the finish with a sweet-tobacco, berry and light milk-chocolate character. Full body, very fine tannins and a juicy finish. Love the intensity and finesse at the end. Lots of energy. Could be better than the exquisite 2014."

Antonio Galloni:

"One of the successes of the vintage, the Grand-Puy-Lacoste is fabulous. Racy, forward and incredibly inviting, the 2016 makes a strong first impression and then never lets up. Sweet red cherry, blood orange, white pepper and floral notes give the wine its brightness and aromatic nuance. Deep, fleshy and utterly exquisite on the palate, yet light on its feet, the 2016 exudes finesse. The flavors are remarkably vivid, but in the end, it is the wine´s sublime balance that places it among the highlights of the vintage. Don´t miss it!"

The Wine Advocate

"The 2016 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot that matured in 75% new oak. It has 13.3% alcohol this year. It has an extraordinarily pure bouquet with blackberry, briary, touches of pencil shaving and cedar aromas--quintessential Grand-Puy-Lacoste, basically. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin. Gone are the days when this Pauillac was as hard as nails for the first decade. The tannins are nowadays much finer and the acidity lends this tension and plenty of freshness. There is an effortless quality to this Pauillac with wonderful length and such finesse on the finish that you immediately want to go back and re-taste it. Like so many others, this improved with aeration, gaining ever more harmony and precision. What a brilliant wine. It is classic Pauillac to its core."

Decanter Magazine

"This has a spicy, almost toasted edge, perfectly balanced depth and a retraction of the tannins through the mid-palate that springs back again on the finish. This vintage sees the addition of 15 new small 80hl stainless steel vats in the cellar, allowing for more precision during fermentation. There is plenty of hidden power going on in this wine, with a tannin index of 79IPT, similar to the 2010. The silky tannins make this large-structured wine deceptive right now, but it is extremely well handled, particularly in the teasing out of mineral, wet stone touches flicking through the dark berry fruits. I expect it will close down a little more than some this year. Drinking Window 2027 - 2045"

"79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot. Harvested 28 September to 13 October. 45 hl/ha.
Very dark crimson. Very ripe and fresh. Pretty glorious expression of the vintage on the nose. Slightly dry finish but really very energetic and may be a fairly good buy. Slightly dry on the end – very British claret!"

Jeff Leve

"Dewy and succulent cassis, smoke, tobacco, cedar wood and blackberry aromas pop up with just an easy swirl or two. Refined, polished, elegant with a medium-bodied personality, ending with loads of sweet, dark fruit. This vintage from GPL has the structure to age, coupled with the silky-mouth feel that its loyal tasters enjoy. The wine was made from a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot. The harvest took place September 28 to October 13"

Jean-Marc Quarin

"Le meilleur jamais fait ! Couleur sombre, intense, belle, pourpre. Nez intense, fin, fruité, subtil, floral, très frais et mûr. Moelleux à l’attaque, particulièrement fondant en milieu de bouche, très savoureux, le vin va crescendo, en gagnant de la présence en deuxième partie de palais. Il s’achève long, absolument délicieux et impossible à cracher sur des tanins nobles. Le style du cru est bien là avec un grand équilibre et plus de profondeur que de coutume. Assemblage : 79 % cabernet sauvignon, 21 % merlot. Degré d’alcool : 13°3 (moyenne), pH : 3.71 (moyenne), IPT : 80 (moyenne plus). Rendement : 45 hl/ha. Sélection du premier vin : 60 % de la récolte."

"Vraiment délicieux et tout en élégance. le 2016 brille par le raffinement de son fruit et le soyeux de ses tanins. Terriblement gourmand, mias aussi très long."

"Barrel Sample. This wine is generously structured and rich, with firm tannins. It does have a hint of bitterness, though it should integrate quickly. It will be a fine wine from about 2027 on."

"Frisches, elegantes, komplexes, tiefgründiges Bouquet, schwarze Beeren, Cassis, Korinthen, Zedern, Trüffel, Minze, fein Lakritze. Ausgewogener, dichtverwobener, vielschichtiger Gaumen mit dichter, dunkler Frucht, sehr viel feinem Tannin, komprimierter Aromatik, samtener, fein muskulöser Struktur, sehr langer, frischer Abgang mit vielen Rückaromen."

Wine Spectator

"Ripe, but sleek and very focused, featuring racy iron and savory notes coursing alongside the core of black currant and black cherry fruit. The fresh finish keeps everything in lockstep. Well-built.—J.M."

"Forme classique, légèrement plus discrète que chez quelques voisins, mais la température de l’échantillon présenté au château était un peu élevée. Tannin très droit et authentiquement Pauillac."

"The 2016 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a powerful, exciting wine. That is the good news. But readers are going to have to be patient, as the 2016 shows very little of the upfront appeal that was so evident when it was in barrel. In the glass, the 2016 is sumptuous, vivid and incredibly detailed, with generous super-ripe red fruit and floral notes that develop with time. The wine's concentration and vibrancy lead me to think it will enjoy a very long life. Wow!"

"The 2016 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a superb, vibrant, tobacco-infused bouquet that soars from the glass; it is extremely well defined and classic, just as you expect from this Pauillac. The medium-bodied palate displays succulent tannin that hides the backbone supporting this wine. It is more approachable than the Grand Puy Lacoste of a decade ago, yet retains the essence of its terroir. This is one of the most elegant GPLs of recent years."

Yves Beck

"79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot

Rouge grenat profond aux reflets violets. Bouquet profond, complexe, révélant des notes fruitées et épicées. Framboises, mûres, bois de réglisse, anis et cannelle. Je relève également des notes de menthe. Au fil des minutes le nez révèle son terroir avec d’élégantes notes de cèdres, de feuilles de tabac ainsi qu’une élégante touche florale. La mise en bouche est soyeuse, élégante et fruitée. Le corps a du gras, du fruit et des tannins qui se révèlent très lentement en fin de bouche. Ces derniers sont puissants, granuleux et en symbiose avec la structure. Un grand vin qu’il faudra savoir attendre. Finale fruitée et persistante."
