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 left
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.

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.

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.

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