    deep garnet. Nose was a Pauillac, but of lesser quality. there was even a hint of VA. Taste was thin and acidic. Bought at release and kept in an active cellar, I couldn't find a flaw that I could name, but it was likely there, I believe. (86 pts.)

I have a magnum of this, and hope it shows better than your notes.

By the way, Harry, I really enjoy your contributions to the forum and am always glad to read your notes.

All the best,
Alex R.

Without doubt, the '95 GPL is better.
