Tasted Monday, April 24, 2017 by Zweder with 375 views
The theme was: "Wines that need to be drunk; some might be a bit too old, some a point and some possibly still with some future."
It was a great tasting on a Monday evening! What a way to start the week :-)
Thank you very much Daan for this beautiful line-up and surprise! It was an honor to be present :-)
The bouquet is not very expressive because the wine is still much too young, but there are white fruits, minerals and some anise. On the palate pear, blossom, other white fruits, minerals, herbs, soft citrus and some pleasant bitterness. Concentrated wine. Special biodynamic wine from a small plot with a volcanic soil. No sulfur used.

Expressive and beautiful bouquet with white flowers and white fruits. Same on the palate. Candy flavors, blossom, some nuts and a good balance between acidity and sweetness. Ready now.

Complex bouquet with ripe white fruits like pear and apple, honey and some nuts. On the palate a slightly reductive (positive) start, ripe yellow fruits, apple, marzipan, mild acidity. Overall a firm, concentrated, round and complex wine. A real beauty! Ready now and for several years to come.

The bouquet shows some development and rustic flavors, but is still very lively with ripe yellow fruits and even some pleasant green impressions. On the palate ripe and soft yellow and white fruits, a bit fat, some pleasant vanilla from the oak, flowers, white pepper, some green impressions again, mild acidity and pleasant bitterness. Ready now and many years to go. I preferred this wine just a little above the Chave 2008.

In the bouquet dark forest fruits, some red berries as well, oak, vanilla and forest floor. On the palate chocolate, dark berries and cherries, herbs and spiciness, some bell pepper, good acidity and soft but still powerful tannin. This is still the classical style L.Poyferré.

In the bouquet dark and red berries, cassis, oak, some leather and spiciness. On the palate juicy dark berries, sweet spiciness, garrigue, firm and beautiful acidity and mild tannin. Beautiful wine in its young maturity stage now. Can probably last another 7+ years.

The wine in this bottle was extremely mature. 99% certain this is an off bottle.

In the bouquet caramel, orange peel, honey, tangerine and cola. On the palate a lot of sweetness and good bitterness. A lot of orange peel. There is good acidity, but it lacks some freshness. Nevertheless a beautiful and mature sophisticated old lady.
