Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste, Pauillac 2014 Jo Landron

Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste, Pauillac 2014 Jo LandronTasted blind. Rather elegant. Not flashy and not that concentrated but beautifully balanced. Already showing its charms even though the medium body and medium charge of tannins should preserve it for a good long life. Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson. com (17. 5)

spiced-orange and honeysuckle unfolds over a background of wintergreen

There is an almost dusty and dense dark fruit and even some raspberry and soft tar

underscored by subtle umami notes

Jura-like in style but distinctively New World

A delightful wine from Italy's smallest wine region

Meanwhile the classic peat smoke and citrus character of the Kilchoman spirit brings a distinct depth and punch to the whisky

The palate is extremely fresh and bright with a great acidity

This is a very pretty Pinot with a heavenly red-fruited perfume: tiny wild strawberries muddled with spice

A wonderful deep garnet in colour with a slight orange rim

releases buttery flavours

lifted red fruits and a hint of lime marmalade from the co-fermentation with the aromatic Eden Valley Riesling
