66 Poyferre

1966 Chateau Leoville Poyferre;

A/B level fill, soaked cork, bright ruby with thin orange rim. Mellow, very closed, a touch of blackcurrants, coffeebeans, leather, with air much more complex, tobacco, prunes, red berries, cigars. Pure balance, so elegant, good acidity, some ripe tannins still, seems exceptional behind this curtain that it never comes out of, like when you see a (naked) person behind some curtains with light comming in from behind, you can't tell who, but you know if you like what you see......great length. 90
