    December 25, 2022 - Dark purple colour. Loads of dark fruits and earth taste. Opened up nicely in the glass after an hour. Smooth tannin. Drank right after 1997 Leoville Poyferre with lamb and beef main courses. I certainly like this better than the Leoville Poyferre.

    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.

    March 28, 2021 - Digging into my Bordeaux Collection,
    Aroma: Cedar, figs, tobacco
    Palate; herbaceous, mint, green pepper, oak,
    Finish: Medium, after being opened the tannins are bigger, slight bitterness, baking spices
    Overall: delivered more than I expected. Drinking at Peak, Matched nicely with Passover brisket.

    November 12, 2020 - Not a deep red on the pour, aromas of blackberries. faint smoke, and cherries. Light on entering but held a solid flavor through the mid and back of the palate. Enjoyed more for its style than power.

    April 18, 2020 - Mid garnet. Slightly cloudy. Light body. Notes of cocoa and coffee. Has some tertiary notes. Lacks the concentration one might expect from a GPL in a warmer vintage.
