Château Léoville Poyferré 1916, 2ème #grandcruclassé , #saintjulien 🇫🇷 🍇 #cabernetsauvignon , #merlot , #cabernetfranc , #petitverdot 🔔 this was our third wine from this #wineflight , it’s more than 100 years old and still enjoyable, even with the typical Léoville Poyferré notes, what an amazing drinking experience… ℹthe filling level was mid shoulder, the cork was quite soaked and significantly shorter than the ones today, as well as the capsule, it’s a typical feature for the „Négociant-wines“ 🍷 bright cherry red with brown reflections, slightly dull but the wine was good and enjoyable, earth and wood notes were dominant in the nose, over time dark fruit notes such as cassis and blackberry became dominant, the tannin structure faded, on the palate you could taste the earthy notes with a hint of wood, the aroma evolved a little bit and was gone after 2 hours 📝 this bottle is from Négociant Andre Kerstens from Tilbourg (NL), founded 1880 and it was quite usual to this time to buy whole barrels and sell it under the name with the Château, it’s quite an historic bottle with its own history #winelover #winetasting #winereview #winenotes #winenerd #wineblogger #winefornormalpeople #winefluencer #sommelierlife #redwinetime #winerytime #winewithfriends #bordeaux #bestofbordeaux #bordeauxwine @andrekerstensbv
