Friday, April 13, 2012 - This wine is more mature and elegant than I had expected. I have a feeling that this wine was made with another intentions than the more recent Poyferrés which are more fullbodied and "new worldish". I guessed than this was Las Cases from the mid 90-ies (maybe can give a hint of the style). Beautiful wine that is ready to drink already.

Interestingly we had the Poyferré 2001 in the next glass, and it felt more dense, younger but also more oaky. Did we see Poyferré shift in style here? The 2001 was not so far away from the 2003....
