CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE POYFERRÉ 2ème Cru Classé Saint Julien 2005

The 2005 Léoville Poyferré has quite a perfumed and minty bouquet, a common trait across many of the Left Bank '05s. Firm tannins frame plenty of tarry black fruit on the boldly styled palate. The 2005 is fresh but a little more tannic than the wines made nowadays. Dense and a little sinewy on the finish, this will certainly require decanting if broached now.

PULIGNY MONTRACHET 1er Cru Hameau de Blagny Domaine Thomas-Collardot 2023

Here too there is just enough wood to merit mentioning on the firmly reduced nose. There is fine volume and mid-palate density to the succulent, rich and relatively generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm acid spine shaping the citrusy and ever-so-mildly warm finale. This is a wine that should repay 7 to 10 years of keeping yet isn’t so compact that it couldn’t be reasonably approached after only 3 to 4 years if that’s your preference.
