12/17/2023 - troger Likes this wine: 92 pointsAfter a two hour decant, wine was very smooth and almost lacking any tannin. Was expecting a little more body and fruit but it finished nicely. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

10/6/2023 - troger wrote: 92 pointsDid a quick decant but opened up nicely after an hour or so. Very nice overall with good integration of flavors and fruit. Tannins are very mild and should allow some additional life but probably just moving past peak. |

9/15/2023 - troger wrote: 93 pointsAfter a 2 hour decant and another hour in the glass, wine had opened up nicely and had excellent overall balance and smoothness. Tannins were integrated nicely with fruit. Probably nearing its peak in overall balance but should have 2-5 years more of good life. |

2005 Château Léoville PoyferréSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/4/2022 - troger Likes this wine: 93 points1 hour decant produced a very nice experience. Half bottle so probably in its peak range but could easily go another 5-10 years. All components nicely composed. |

2002 Château Haut-BaillyPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/24/2021 - troger Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery nice after a 3 hour decant. Tannins are starting to fade but still enough to provide some structure. Not a great vintage so this is probably a great value. |

2005 Château Bahans Haut-BrionPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/20/2021 - troger Likes this wine: 95 points3 hour decant resulted in a remarkably smooth and flavorful tasting experience for the second wine of one of the greats. From an excellent vintage, so I'm wondering how much better the primary Haut-Brion would be. Seems like it's at its peak so probably a few more great years. Wish I had more.

9/19/2021 - troger Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery nice but seemed to lose a little life after a 2 hour decant and an hour to consume. Showing a little age in color and depth but Probably another 5 years of good life. |

6/6/2021 - troger wrote: 90 pointsDecanted 3 hours and found it very good. Tannins were fully integrated and some hint of fruit although some age is beginning to appear so I would drink it within the next year or so to fully appreciate it. |
