Description

** 96 Points Cellar Tracker **

"Top shoulder fill. Cork came out in 1 piece, soaked to the top. Immediately decanted and poured. This was everything that you could want from a 65yo bdx. Very dark in the glass with some bricking. Nose was flamboyant and expressive, with strong notes of caramel, pepper, tobacco, and cigar box. This was a nose you could spend hours analyzing. The palate did not disappoint, coating the mouth with a soft initial attack showing layers of complex tertiary flavors—leather, spice, caramel, dried fruit. No primary fruit flavors and surprisingly very tannic with a chunky quality that reminded me of ’75 or ’86(not GPL specifically). Finishes with good length, adding mint to the leather and dried fruit flavors. This stood up well in the decanter for over an hour, adding depth, and the bottle finished before it ever started to fade. One of my top wine experiences ever. My score reflects the complete experience and enjoyment rather than an objective measure of quality, though this was clearly a great wine and great bottle." Cellar Tracker - Review Posted 2011
