Lindquist Family 2019 GSM 750ml

The 2019 GSM is a powerful, inward wine that is going to need at least a few years to come together. Ripe dark cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco and incense add to its brooding personality. Muscular tannins need time to soften. There is a lot of wine here, that much is obvious.

Score: 92 points -- Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 2021
