Community Tasting Note

Saturday, July 10, 2021 - This wine showed great yesterday, perhaps even better than the 03 Poyferre I tried a couple months back. Splash decanted and served blind, the wine was marked by its depth.

Minimal bricking. Open aromatics of cassis and lead pencil but no pyrazines for me here. I really love how the LBs from 98-03 are showing these days. There’s a lot of volume and rather plush fruit, nicely polished tannins and well framed acidity. It drank a lot younger than the vintage and you had calls for 2012 and 2014 at the table; which is not to fault as I often detect those pruned, roasted notes from hot vintages like 03/07 and none were to be found here.

Drink or hold, it’s in balance and has plenty of material to last 2 more decades
