Rated 96/100 by Antonio Galloni (vinous.com) " The 2020 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is just as captivating in bottle as it is in barrel. Deeply rich and explosive, Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2020 has extraordinary energy and nuance from the start. Bright acidity pierces a core of ripe red plum, blood orange, cedar, and pipe tobacco. The 2020 is a true marvel." (February 2023)
Rated 96/100 by Neal Martin (vinous.com) " The 2020 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a very sophisticated and complex bouquet of black fruits, pencil shavings and light ocean scents, beautifully defined and concentrated. The palate has real intensity and concentration, with precision concealing a very intense Grand-Puy-Lacoste not unlike the 2016, with a lingering graphite-infused finish that is pure finesse. Magnificent." (February 2023)

Rated 93/100 by Neal Martin « This is classic "GPL". The palate is very well balanced with brine-tinged black fruit and a fine bead of acidity. It is beautifully focused with a refined, lightly spiced finish. You have to give this wine time in the glass because it really starts to "flow" after 5-10 minutes. Excellent. » (Feb. 2020)
Rated 95/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Caressant dès l’entrée en bouche, puis moelleux et fondant au milieu, le vin se développe très parfumé, sur un toucher glissant, vers une longue finale complexe et noble. C’est délicieux et incrachable. » (Oct. 2020)
