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.

Bordecembre.. its no. 35 this month!
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.
Winemaker - Didier Cuvelier. Blend - 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc. New barrels - 60%
Thanks to brother RL for sharing this and so many wines this past year, celebrating Joy's birthday and our Crazy Gang early NY party too!

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

Decanted 2hrs and followed. Has some nice elements of mature bdx with some tobacco and flint notes mixed with black fruits. Palate gets austere quite quickly and it thins out on the finish with austerity really showing. Has some really enjoyable elements and some esrly mature character but I worry the big tannins are no where near integration or balance.
