EEE January 2024 St. Estephe vs St. Julien (@ My place): Extremely dark color. The bouquet is beautiful with dark berries, beautifully dosed oak and cedar, vanilla and still some lactic impressions. On the palate dark berries, licorice, vanilla, beautiful acidity and round tannin. A beautiful and complex wine with a beautiful balance between acidity and sweetness. I would not be surprised when this wine will be the wine of the vintage in 2030. 94 already. Probably useful to know; I poured the wine in a large decanter 12 hours before drinking.

The 2017 Léoville Poyferré has closed down a bit since I last tasted it, but with some coaxing shows a demure nose of red cherry, fresh leather, a little cocoa, a little rose, and a pleasant cedary note. The palate shows cured meat and pencil and, though it's aromatically not as jubilant as it was at the EP tastings (which is to be expected), the tannin suggests it might not be all that far from drinking.

Chocolate and mint on the nose at opening. Flattened out a bit as it opened up, but good acid and good complexity of black and blue fruit with bright cherry coming along after two hours. Very short finish. Needs age.

First one of these from the cellar. Decanted for 2 hours prior to putting back into the bottle to take to HMCs for dinner.
Great floral, perfumed nose to start. Better than the palate was initially and for the first 2-3 hours. The palate was very light, red fruited and a tad tart at the pnp. Air is this wine's friend! At 4+ hours this gains weight, it darkens a bit and really smooths out. Before that it's a bit closed/tannic. You can easily pour these now if you want for their more modern profile, just give them at least 4 hours of air to shine. 89 at the pnp.....90-91 2 hours in, and 94 after 4 hours of air....smooth, spicy, perfumed, solid. Some say this is an off year in Bdx...I'm not buying it.
