1 hour decant(decent fine/cloudy sediment). A majestic dark ruby red color. On the nose: enticing areomatics jump from the glass with dark fruit, currants, musty forest floor, smoked meat, chocolate espresso. Taste: silky smooth, deep, intense mouthcoating wine with dark cherry/blackberry, earth, dark chocolate, and a long black pepper espresso finish. YUM! — 2 hours ago

Classic notes of left bank Bordeaux. 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot. Initially a sweet palate but after a few hours, restrained, balanced and a little dusty and herbaceous. Very fine tannins - totally resolved and seamless. A classy wine - the 2nd wine of a leading First Growth from a good vintage. — a year ago

Magnum. Rustic cherry fruit and tannins. Not much depth and too thin for me. Not bad but not my style. — 2 years ago

2022 vintage. A bit more brusque than the ethereal 2021 effort. Could use a year or two to get its act together and move out of the house. 05.21.25. — 18 days ago

2020 vintage. A single 20 hectares vineyard within the Léoville-Poyferré estate. The name was used for the second wine Léoville-Poyferré, but it became a Saint-Julien in its own right in 2009. The 20 hectares vineyard is planted with an unusually high percentage of Petit Verdot. This 2020 is a blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, and 23% Petit Verdot. — 2 years ago

Haven’t had a CRU for awhile. At Rutherford Grill and a friend ordered this bottle and we didn’t have much and she didn’t want it so I took it home. Wasn’t impressed at the restaurant but the second night at home it really shined! — 8 months ago

You can wake me up for this wine, 29 years old and still very much alive. A nose so good that I can snif it for hours. Love it! — 2 years ago

Solid wine with dinner. Tasted great with earth and leather but fruit also at forefront. Lovely to not think about much. — 2 years ago
