The 2021 Lacoste-Borie is lovely, bursting with aromas of plums and cassis mingled with hints of orange zest, spices and espresso roast. Medium-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a charming core of fruit, supple tannins and a succulent, giving profile, it's already hard to resist. Readers looking for near-term, pleasure-bent drinking will find that this is one of the sleepers of the vintage.

The 2021 Lacoste-Borie is a supple, charming wine, bursting with aromas of sweet cherries, berries, licorice and spices. Medium-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with melting tannins and a generous core of fruit, it will drink well on release. It's a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc.

The 2021 Lacoste-Borie has a light, slightly tertiary bouquet of brambly red fruit, freshly rolled tobacco and a touch of potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannins on the entry, moderate weight and a cedar-infused finish. Classic Bordeaux that will need just two or three years in bottle.
