One of my favorite vintages of GL next to the 82. This was a perfect btl showing red & black fruit, currant, cedar, leather, graphite, savory spice cigar box & tobacco leaf.

Alas, bad cork that disintegrated and thus required decanting, this wine is more partially corked than marred by brett (uh, “Cordier Funk”), sad state of affairs. Oh well. . . .

One of my favorite drinking 83’s that is consistent with my many prior notes. Perfectly stored btls will show s deep dark color with notes of red fruits, cassis, earth, leather, sweet, savory spices & tobacco.
