Merchant's description

Grand-Puy-Lacoste 1990 is a red wine from Pauillac. Presented in a 600cl imperial format, this bottling hails from one of the most successful vintages of the decade. The blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, reflecting the estate’s classic Médoc profile of cassis, cedar and graphite. The 1990 growing season was warm and generous, yielding a wine with immense fruit concentration and a luxurious, velvety texture. Following three decades of evolution, the wine has developed a profound array of tertiary notes including tobacco, leather and forest floor.
