Wednesday, January 16, 2013 - Surprisingly thin,without much nose or mouthfeel. Had nice flavors that opened up a bit in the glass. Perhaps it is in a dumb phase.

Has anyone tried the '09 Bordeaux yet? We opened the 2009 Les Pagodes de Cos at the same tasting and it was really very good.

Leoville Barton seem to need the most time in bottle of the 3 Leoville to come out of things after their deep sleep. The 2000 is built like a cold war bomb shelter, where the Poyferre is singing with just a couple hour decant. I love all 3 but Las Cases is just to expensive in years other than '08 and other where the still are higher than the average. I will wait until 2015 to pop the first 2000 LLC,
