  May 14, 2023 - Bordeaux 2022 en Primeur and some recent vintages: Stylistically close to the 2015 but a bit more refined in structure. With lots of wood as always with young Leoville but after 15 years of bottle age it usually integrated very well. I am currently drinking the sublime 1996 and 2005. Patience always pays off in Medoc...

  May 11, 2023 - Bordeaux 2022 barrel tasting event (Papiersaal Sihlcity, Zürich): Main takeaways: 1/ Despite a considerable amount of hype, this came across as bi-polar vintage with for every insanely good wine at least one dead-on-arrival counterpart. 2/ High alcohol levels, over-extraction and cooked fruit appear to be common pitfalls. 3/ Top wines were 1. Figeac (98), 2. Brane Cantenac (97), 3. Les Carmes Haut Brion (96). Full list of 20 wines and scores in included in the tasting story.
  
  Tasting note:
  A ripe profile with cassis, cherry confit and red currant fruit, fresh herbs. There was depth to it and even some polish. The palate mirrored the ripeness and concentration, with notable heat but in decent balance. At this stage felt like a slightly below-average, but respectable Poyferré.

  May 9, 2023 - The 2022 Leoville Poyferre offers an impressive nose, full of blue and black fruit, fundamentally cool and succulent, with subtle potpourri notes cultivated with time. This is whoppingly tannic, but it's not like that won't sort itself out with time - it's just that it will need a lot of it. There's the acid to match and it doesn't seem hot. There's a slight saline and pencil element on the finish which is really refreshing. This is a big, impressive wine, but the direction Leoville Poyferre pursued from 2015-2019, focusing on developing a sumptuous elegance (akin to the 1990), seems increasingly to be in the rear-view mirror.
