3rd of 6, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level, surprisingly pale and browning, flavours as noted in first bottle in 2018 now with pronounced cherry liqueur element and some caramel, long and silky but not quite as fresh and pure as I would like, seems on plateau but given it's a 99 best days may well be ahead, plenty of heft, 10+ years. F (17.5).

Medium reddish brick in color. Mildly corked. Still shows reddish berries, spice and florals. Palate is medium-bodied with good acidity, sour-sweet berries and some soy. Clipped finish...

A few shades deeper and more primary looking than the 2001 Trapet. Attractive aromas of strawberry and menthol. Medium weight, excellent texture and balance of red fruit and soil with crisp acidity and moderate remaining tannin. At a very enjoyable point now, but it still has at least 5 years before it reaches full maturity. Impressive and one of the best bottles of Geantet I’ve had.

2nd of 6, decanted an hour, apparently perfect cork, perfect level, underlying as 1st bottle in 2018 but spoiled by light taint, attractive rich fruit apparent. VG (16).
