(Historic vertical tasting of all Léoville Poyferré's kosher cuvées 1999-2005, Savyon, February 11th 2014) Dark royal purple, the nose is a bit tight and closed, disclosing mostly black fruit, oak and dark chocolate. Full-bodied and gently opening up showing on the palate concentrated and ripe blackberries, sweet plums and cassis, with notes of anise and vanilla as well as roasted herbs with balanced acidity and almost chewy tannins lingering with blackberries and baker's chocolate on the long finish. Very fruit-forward compared with the other vintages.

Better than my last experience but still a little underwhelming. Lovely aroma but then not followed through on the palate
