Friday late night at home with neighbourhood friends. Tasted blind. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
Apperance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of fairly integrated vanilla toast oak, mint, cedar, blackcurrant, purple plum, blueberry, dark red cherries. Developing.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, high alcohol, velvety plush high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of blackcurrant, blueberries, purple plums, sweet dark red cherries, sweet spices and integrated toast oak. Long sweetish finish.
Good quality. I was guessng USA Cabernet ~10 years old or Bordeaux Left Bank 2010. Interestingly turns out to be 2011 supposedly poor vintage.

Double Decanted two hours before drinking and went back in the bottle. Ruby. Complex. On the nose, right at first. Red currant, licorice, violet and dark fruits. After a bit of air, raspberry, rose and violet. Chalk notes (but isn’t the soil here more stone?). Vanilla is smooth and deep, but not overbearing. Baking spices - clove? After more air, leather and musk emerge. Chocolate. Menthol or eucalyptus. Hay or meadow notes. Elderberry or white flower? Tannins smooth out quickly with air in the glass. A fascinating journey through aromatics. Each one emerges and then fades into the next scent. Easy and elegant. Even the tastes change as you go along! Fascinating.

The 2011 Léoville Poyferré is an enjoyable wine, like some 2011s reluctantly coming around but no doubt showing a classic, blackberry and blueberry personality. Fullish nose, awaiting the complexity which should emerge with a few years. The palate doesn't quite deliver on the promise of the nose, but that's '11. Very nice.

Very classic and linear Bordeaux , no surprises here. Plums, cherry and cassis, it is bright, but thin, lacking in density and weight. The weak vintage shows.
