1997 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Saturday, 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.
