November 21, 2023 - By far the greatest Grand Puy Lacoste ever produced, it is outstanding and embodies everything that is unique in a fully mature Bordeaux. There is inevitably bottle variance, and this did not quite hit the heights of my last time out, but it was still magnificent. Taste profile is as per previous notes.

October 14, 2023 - Decanted 3hours by the patriarch; served blind
Nose - leather, smoke
Mouth - dense, graphite, with a touch of sweet fruit , and a savory element. I guessed mid 80s Pauillac , not bad. -

September 13, 2023 - Not decanted; took almost an hour to open up. Drinking very well but not declining. Classic, middle-of-the-fairway Pauillac.
