Deep ruby to purple in color. Blackberry, cassis, black cherry, cedar, and hints of earth on the nose. Somewhat elegant and restrained on the palate with nicely textured tannins and good acidity. 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, and 3% Malbec.

Second GdL we have tried. Only other was the 2001 and this was a lot more enjoyable. Ruby red appearance. Nose was coated with red cherries with a slight rubber undertone. The palate was attacked with red fruits and berries. Solid acidity carries through. Slight undertones of earthiness, savoriness and slight anise. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and moderate body. Long finish lingers with a red cherry finish. Can definitely tell that this is a baby and will do well over the next ten or so years. It can use that time to fully integrate and develop. Drink now till 2026.

Final wine club before the birth of Baby V 😎
I brought this from my personal stash. Loads of Rutherford dust, eucalyptus, rich plums, baking spices, and nuanced vanilla. An exorbitant amount of character, depth, and complexity. This wine has both finesse and backbone. Amazing.
