Well balanced wine. On the nose, a little funky, savory, and a bit of dark fruit. On the palate, nice balance between acidity and tannin. Enjoyable wine.

Tertiary notes start to come out already. Still a lot of fruits left. Some whiff of green note in the glass. Balanced, classic style. No hint of alcohol or oak. I think 2016 or 2019 GPL blow this one out of the water. There is no point in aging forever when the current vintages are way ahead in quality and sheer enjoyments.

Earthy, herbaceous, brambly on the nose. Can smell the alcohol, which is not a good sign. On the palate, high acidity, alcohol is burning as you swallow. Checked the bottle and it’s 14.5%. What a disjointed mess!
