  December 25, 2022 - Dark purple colour. Loads of dark fruits and earth taste. Opened up nicely in the glass after an hour. Smooth tannin. Drank right after 1997 Leoville Poyferre with lamb and beef main courses. I certainly like this better than the Leoville Poyferre.

  July 12, 2022 - Paired with a bison steak, the fruit and tannins worked well for this dish.

  April 3, 2021 - Fairly shy nose, on the palate sweet toned black currant, hints of licorice, a bit creamy, mouldy earth but clean and pure expression, just lovely orange peel flauvors, the lowish acidity is in harmony with the subtle fruit and the combination makes this nicely fresh, tannins are still there but do not override fruit. This is light and not as extracted as stronger vintages but the basic quality of GPL is so good that even a lesser vintage such as this can be very enjoyable. Glad to have one more bottle.

  March 28, 2021 - Digging into my Bordeaux Collection,
  Aroma: Cedar, figs, tobacco
  Palate; herbaceous, mint, green pepper, oak,
  Finish: Medium, after being opened the tannins are bigger, slight bitterness, baking spices
  Overall: delivered more than I expected. Drinking at Peak, Matched nicely with Passover brisket.
