June 20, 2019 - A better wine than the example last night, for this still shows a raspberry and redcurrant character but now it's inflected with cassis, pencil, and a touch of cedar. Much more classical than the prior example. Nice grip on the palate, supple in the style of 09 but not at all hot or over-worked. Finishes well. Very good indeed.

You’ll find the 09 GPL to be a great introduction to Bordeaux since your background is with Napa. Riper vintage but GPL remains very classically Pauillac. Enjoy!
