  An absolute gem of a wine. Very fragrant nose. Tertiary, but still some nice freshness and fruit. Refined, ripe red fruit, raspberry and violets. Elegant and perfumed.

  Middag med venner: Sur-søt, balansert og frisk, kommet langt men det er allikevel en del frukt igjen. Lang, noe nyper og blod.

  The 1966 Léoville Poyferré speaks to its era, sporting a slightly malty, damp cedar mulch character on the nose which falls into the background as sweet strawberry and red cherry expand after 15 minutes in the decanter. There’s an appealing piment d’esplette spiciness that completes the nose. True to the form of many 66s, the palate is more austere with cherry, beef blood, and earth, not really showing the winsome character found on the nose. There are still tannins here - the 66s will die with their boots on. Best after 15 minutes in the decanter (which allows the fruit to expand) but before minute 45 (by which time the earth elements overtook the fruit).

  I enjoyed this wine primarily for its nose; absolutely stunning pure St Julien; vibrant. The texture lacks a little, especially compared to both 66 Las Cases and Barton. On the downhill side, drink soon.

  Medium garnet in colour with heavy sediments. Its still clear and not cloudy which is a very good sign. Pronounced nose intensity with notes of cedar, toast, spices, tea. Medium acidity and tannin. Tannin fully integrated. Medium body with long finish. Very enjoyable for a nice aged Bordeaux in such good condition.
