April 12, 2024 - Tasted at the Chateau
Medium Garnet
Medium + intensity with aromas of fresh and dry black fruits, dry herbal spices, cedar, nutmeg, leather, autumn leaf, earth and tobacco. several and pleasant layers flavors
On the palate the wine is dry with medium + acidity and medium + integrated tannins, medium alcohol and medium + body. The intensity is medium + and the finish is long. The qulaity is very good and can drink now potential for further aging. A liked this better than 2008. More primary fruit left1 person found this helpful Comments (2) -

March 24, 2024 - Sixth bottle from a full case purchased at auction in 2012. Pristine condition, perfect level and cork. Classical Saint-Julien profile, with a lovely hint of added generosity, spicy depyth anc a lovely purity of fruit, well-integrated new oak. Firm extraction requires three hours of decanting, very good resonance and length. Good future – another two decades I would say.

December 31, 2023 - Lækker, men også en lidt neutral vin. Herlig åben bordeaux' næse med solbær, blåbær, lakrids, cigaræske, brune champignon og støv. I munden er vinen relativ let og cremet med en fin balance. Nydt til wagyu tornados ved siden af Thomas Dam’s Cornas Chaban og her blev vinen desværre klemt. Bør drikkes nu.

December 29, 2023 - Bordecembre.. its no. 35 this month!
Savoury and singing nose, followed by a blackfruit palate with such precision. As expected for vintage, strong tannic backbone.
Loved the graphite aromatics development.
I have grown to really like Léoville Poyferre and ranks in my Top 5 now. This year, I have tried and enjoyed.. 1989 and the 2003, as well as the 2009, 2013, and 2014 too. And now, 2006 too.
Winemaker - Didier Cuvelier. Blend - 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc. New barrels - 60%
Thanks to brother RL for sharing this and so many wines this past year, celebrating Joy's birthday and our Crazy Gang early NY party too!

December 11, 2023 - Wines from SQ lounge / Suites: Felt very international. Purple extracted fruit, over-ripe to me. Would have thought modern right bank if blinded.
