smoke-tinged finish

like quince peel

rounder and silkier and 2011 a bit wilder with a touch of rusticity

There are three white wines in the Torbreck portfolio

Touches of sulfur and reduction push the mildly exotic aromas of orange peel and melon to the background at present

Lacoste Borie other_regions smoke-tinged finishLacoste Borie is the second wine of Pauillac fifth growth Grand Puy Lacoste. While the 2010 grand vins are not yet in their drinking window, this will fit the bill. The nose has nicely defined cedar and black pepper with hints of struck match and bacon. The palate has softened out wonderfully, but retains structural liquorice and cocoa infused tannins. There is a succulent black fruit edge, with savoury hints of tobacco and some herbaceousness behind.
