May 2, 2024 - Stored in a cold cellar since release. High fill. Perfect condition. Well balanced with more red fruits than black with some leather and tobacco. Medium bodied. Tannins resolved. Should last but seems close to peak. Drink by 2030.

March 29, 2024 - Bordeaux night: The complete opposite of the Beychevelle, but equally lovable. GPL to me represents the archetypal workhorse Bordeaux, and in good vintages they can possess serious depth as was the case here. Not as silky as the Beychevelle alongside but much more structure and tension holding the wine together.

January 27, 2024 - A mature classic nose. Cassis, some saddle leather, bricks, bell pepper and roses. At this point it's fully mature and in the zone for me. There aren't any particular aspects of this wine that stand out; rather everything is in concert with a pretty seamless sense of clarity and focus that is laudable. A lovely mix of mature fruit, savory and soil. Everything is in harmony here. It's not a blockbuster, but it's at its apogee and offering a ton of contemplative pleasure. Medium long finish with a little '95 austerity that I kind of dig. Drink up. It's delicious right now.
