Thursday, March 26, 2015 - Tasted single blind. Accessed via coravin left half an hour in glass. From nose guessed St julien, palate showed red fruits and tobacco leaf. I noted after half an hour more air getting better. For me second WOTN after Cos 2006 and ahead of Montrose 2005 for current gratification. i would not be surprised to see all this reversed though in ten years time. This wine has huge potential and I am glad to have a case. probably still "value" in the scheme of 05 prices. If you need to try now decant. If you can wait wait. Drink the less expensive surrounding 2004 or 2006 Poyferre now.
