Friday, June 16, 2023 - Beautiful color, no significant age showing. Assertive, spicy nose of red plum, old wood, and a bit of cigar box (maybe power of suggestion - hard to tell the difference). Flavor profile is austere, with a better showing day two - more open and not as shy. Medium-bodied and not nearly as impressive in the mouth as on the finish which starts with a small burst of acidity, then a long glide path to the end. Lovely to taste a Bordeaux with over 15 years and GPL is almost always solid. Sixty seconds into the finish and still engaging.
