Description
Light in style for Grand-Puy, the 1981 has more in common with the 1979 than either the substantial 1982 or full-bodied, yet elegant 1978. An elegant mixture of ripe berry fruit and spicy oak overlaid with soft tannins makes this wine very easy to drink now. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 4/90.

Tasting note
1981年的拉古斯酒莊是一款典型的波雅克優雅代表。這款酒融合了成熟的莓果香氣和辛香橡木味，柔和的單寧使其格外易於飲用。葡萄園平均樹齡為38年，種植在非常深的粗礫石土壤中，賦予了這款酒獨特的風土特徵。釀酒過程包括精心的手工採摘，兩次篩選，長時間的浸漬，隨後在法國橡木桶（75%新桶）中陳釀16至18個月。這款酒非常適合搭配烤羊排、惠靈頓牛排、陳年切達奶酪或蘑菇燴飯。
The 1981 Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a classic representation of Pauillac elegance. This wine offers a delightful blend of ripe berry fruit and spicy oak, complemented by soft tannins that make it exceptionally easy to drink. The vineyard, with an average vine age of 38 years, is rooted in very deep coarse gravel, contributing to the wine's unique terroir. The winemaking process includes meticulous hand-picking, two successive selections, and a long maceration period, followed by aging in French oak barrels (75% new) for 16 to 18 months. This wine is perfect for pairing with grilled lamb chops, Beef Wellington, aged cheddar cheese, or mushroom risotto.
