1918 Léoville Poyferré

1918 Château Léoville Poyferré;
B level fill! Clear, Bright, towards deep ruby, orange rim. Has some VA, figs, prunes, raisins, very old, but very alive. Lots of acidity, still tannins, a bit dry, tar and roses, very old Barolo in the mouth, with more air (about 10 minutes) more chocolate, more intensity, morellos, coffee, fruit cake, dark and white chocolate, tannins feel softer with the more pronounced fruit, medium minus and ripe, acidity feels softer too, many minutes of aftertaste, a beauty! 96

I found this note while looking through one of my older tastingnote books. This note is from around 2005, and is still the oldest light wine I've tasted. (Fortified, 1795) And it was superb! Thanks to Arne Ronold MW for serving this.
