Thursday, April 27, 2023 - Small supper at Noizé (Noizé, London): Opened in place of a dull 1989 Leoville Barton. Due to slightly crossed wires this was essentially splash decanted and poured. Suspect this contributed to a younger feeling and less giving wine than previous bottles in the last year. It is still joyous. Dark fruited with cedar and pencil notes. Just a spot of star anise. Palate is rich and long, tannins fully resolved and this is so more-ish. Improves with every sip. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc.
