The 1981 Grand-Puy-Lacoste, poured from a half-bottle, has a bright hue with little signs of aging. Dark berry fruit aromas commingle with mahogany antique bureau and light estuarine scents on the nose, with just a faint hint of boot polish. The palate contains commendable fruit and surprisingly rounded texture, considering the vintage. Though the finish is not complex, it conveys a sense of classicism and elegance, with lingering cedar notes on the aftertaste. This is drinking perfectly now. Tasted at Tsui Village in Hong Kong. (Drink between 2023-2033)
