1998 Chateau Leoville Poyferre

[wondersofwine]

Tasted 1.5 oz pour at Enoteca Vin Restaurant in Raleigh this weekend with bread and extra virgin olive oil. Nose of black currant and blackberries, maybe a faint spice note. Taste of dark fruits. Not as tannic as I feared for a young Bordeaux but a little drying on the finish. Nice wine and a treat to be able to taste without paying for a full bottle.
(I also preceded it with a Siduri Van Kamp
Pinot Noir-also 1.5 oz.--I think I prefered the Siduri Pisoni Pinot Noir but not having them side-by-side I can't say for sure)
