March 17, 2019 - As a taste more and more wines my ratings are adjusting more towards the Lower end of the range. I think it’s imprtant to rate the wine at its current moment in time, not its “potential”. While it is true that many of the 2009’s can be drunk young, I believe it is best to let these rest in the cellar for a few more years. While there is amble fruit in this branaire, the tanins are quite pronounced and show a promising structure for the future. This wine has dark fruit but strong tannins and a bit of heat on the finish. The Positives on this wine ( for me at least) that it screams old world style Bordeaux, not in the least bit jammy ripe and new world style. I think it’s better to drink 2009s that are not as structured if you are tempted to pop a cork. A very promissing future and although I don’t have any more in my cellar, I know to let my 2009 poyferre rest 5 years.
