Tuesday, August 6, 2013 - This keeps getting better each time I taste it. Powerful, masculine, concentrated and tannic, this has all the right stuff to age. It's cassis, tobacco, cedar and earthy profile scream Pauillac. Give it a few hours in the decanter, if you can hold off, another 3-5 years will add even more complexity. This sold for close to $25 as a future!

I just started collecting wine a couple years ago, and it’s shocking to learn how much prices have risen! GPL still seems like a pretty fair shake at $59/btl as a future for the 2019 vintage, though.
