1986 Château Léoville Las CasesSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/18/2024 - alamoave Likes this wine: 94 pointsDrinking very well. Started drinking shortly after decant, so last glass was the best, of course. I would give it a couple of hours out of respect. No hurry on this. At least 5 years left at peak levels. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

1999 Château PalmerMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/4/2024 - alamoave Likes this wine: 95 pointsPS to my prior tasting note. There was a leftover glass on Day 1, which I covered and refrigerated. I just finished it on Day 3 and it was sublime. So there’s more longevity than indicated in my prior tasting note. Added a point to my score. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2010 Château Léoville PoyferréSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/30/2023 - alamoave Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis has the makings of the best Poyferre vintage I have tasted. First bottle. Decanted for 3 hours. Dark purple, lush color and mouthfeel. Big fruit fully matched by robust, round tannins. Long finish. Not close to peak performance, but if you have a few, try one! |
