Pauillac 5th Cru Classe 2001, Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste Orange Lots of refreshing tropical fruit

Lots of refreshing tropical fruit and energy on display here

fine Pinot Noir with lovely ripe strawberry and red cherry fruit and some spicy complexity on the finish

A blend of Touriga Nacional 75% and Touriga Franca 20% with a field blend of local varieties making up the missing 5%

one of the nine Chateaus to be given the Cru Bourgeois Exceptionell classification in 2003

This is not made in your classic Aussie rizza fashion - this is whole bunch pressed into concrete and ferments with full solids before being bottled without fining or filtration
