- 96 Punkte, JEB DUNNUCK: I love the purity of the 2018 Château Grand-Puy Lacoste, a ripe, upfront, expressive beauty that has loads of currant and cassis notes as well as flowers, spicy wood, graphite, and hints of tobacco. Full-bodied, rich, expansive, and incredibly sexy, it stays fresh and lively on the palate, with ultra-fine tannins.

- 95 Punkte DECANTER, Jane Anson: Another success from Grand-Puy-Lacoste its bright and full of juice, prioritising vibrancy over power. As such, it has a touch less Pauillac typicity than in the absolutely brilliant 2016 vintage at this estate, although as it unfurls through the palate you do get the menthol, cassis and smoked cedar that is just such a beautiful sign of ripe Cabernet up in this corner of the world. They were extremely careful with extraction because of the high alcohols, so grapes underwent the shortest maceration to date with no pumping over just an infusion during the extraction process. Harvest took place between 21 September and 5 October. 12 press wine. 75 new oak used. A yield of 40hlha. Drinking Window 2026 2040
- 95 Punkte WINESPECTATOR, James Molesworth: This captures the style of the vintage to a T, with vividly ripe cassis and plum fruit, carried by solidly built but fine-grained structure. Lots of graphite and tobacco accents hang in the background for now. A firmly grounded wine.
- 18,5 Punkte WEINWISSER: 78 Cabernet Sauvignon, 22 Merlot, 40 hlha. Purpurgranat mit violettem Rand. Verspieltes Bouquet mit roten Kirschen und Johannisbeeren, dahinter Preiselbeersaft, Burley-Tabak und Heidelbeeren. Am kräftigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und perfekt stützender Rasse, diese gibt hier den Ton an, der Wein besticht mit einer unglaublichen Finesse. Im aromatischen Finale Hagebutten, Wacholder und Graphit. Ich hoffe, dass diese Schönheit bei vielen Kunden den Weg auf den Einkaufszettel findet. Kann noch zulegen. 2024 2045sehr langer, kräftiger, aromatischer Abgang.
- 18 Punkte VINUM: Recht verschlossen in dieser Phase, aber perfekt gezeichnet und besonders stim­mig, stilvoll trotz der tragenden Struktur und besonderen Fülle, verleugnet nicht den Jahrgang und bleibt sich doch treu. Trinkfenster 2030-2040
- 94 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: Cherries and walnuts with dried flowers on the nose. Its medium-to full-bodied with very fine tannins, creamy texture and a bright, vivid finish. Plenty of currant and tar. Such polish and beauty. Drink after 2023.
- 93-96 Punkte VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: A wine of precision, energy and nuance, the 2018 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is fabulous. Freshly cut flowers, mint and sweet red berry fruit grace this exquisite, nuanced Pauillac. Medium in body, understated and classy, Grand-Puy-Lacoste is one of the highlights of the year. In a word: impeccable. The 2018 is 78 Cabernet Sauvignon and 22 Merlot from yields of 40 hectoliters per hectare.
- 17,5 Punkte JANCIS ROBINSON, Julia Harding: 78 Cabernet Sauvignon, 22 Merlot. 40 hlha. Barrel sample. Black core with wide purple rim. Great purity of intense, ripe but fresh black fruit. The fruit flavours are ripe not overripe and scented with cassis and blueberry yet overall there is a freshness to balance the fruit and that rockypencil quality that was also on the Lacoste-Borie. Darker and more mineral on the palate, then really bright on the finish with refined tannins. There's a real elegance here thanks to the purity of the fruit and the finesse in the tannins. Harmony and finesse right to the end. A very good year for Grand-Puy-Lacoste. ;
