This wine opens with dark cherry, cola, spices and some oak. Structured tannins with a lingering finish. Good now, I’m sure it will be good a little down the road — 4 years ago

2005 vintage. Decanted and tasted immediately and through 3 hours. Great fill/appropriate aging cork. Medium sed. Noticeably dark color. Any trace of the usual Cos baby fat for the first decade+ after release long gone geek. Interesting. This was a lean, mean, street-fighting machine with "minerality" to spare. Intense. Compact. Unsure if it will continue to menace in the next decade of life or retreat into a reclusive, "turtling" period. Best guess? Street-fighter par excellence. Regardless of taking the high or low road, it's not devolving into a drink 'em if you got 'em any time soon scenario. Thanksgiving 11.23.23. — 5 months ago

Absolutely stunning. Quite the contrast to the Colombiere, as this is much more serious and structured and the Aux Cras terroir shines through. New oak is more prevalent, of course, but it’s so integrated already and doesn’t get in the way. The nose is incredibly intense and aromas of dark fruit, sweet spice and a wet rock minerality waft from the glass. While this wine is let’s say, more masculine and less sexy than the Colombiere, there is still a seductive Vosne-like perfume that’s so undeniably CLB and lures you in. The palate is powerful and is full of energy, while at the same time remaining focused and seamlessly delineated. To no surprise length is superior to the Colombiere. Totally irresistible now, but boy this will be a knockout down the road. — 3 years ago

Deep ruby with early hints of garnet, the 2009 Château Léoville Poyferré needs a minimum of two hours in the decanter to fully reveal itself. Once it does, it offers an alluring perfume of violets, blackberry, black plum, blackcurrant, menthol, tobacco, cedar wood, cloves and nutty chocolate. Alongside balancing acidity and well defined black fruit flavors, the palate is currently dominated by ripe and polished tannins. The potential is obvious and I suspect the 2009 will turn into a stunning wine a few years down the road. Drink from 2026 until 2050. — 2 years ago
