Grilled rack of lamb and Leoville Poyferre 2000
Wife and I had grilled Rack of lamb marinated in orange juice, olive
oil, rosemary and lavender. Cooked in my Big Green Egg for the first time and really enjoyed it with grilled end of summer vegetables. Opened the 2000 Leoville Poyferré. Opened for 1 hour. Lush fruit nose, with cedar box and tobacco. Loads of dark red fruits and earth. Finished with a taste of smoked meat (maybe influence of dinner) but a long tasty finish. First bottle of this 2000 I have opened. Tannins are already smoothed so I think this won't go more than 5-7 more years. |

Surprised at drinking window. 2000 was the first vintage I didn't buy after several years of buying Poyferre, I thought "$47? No way that price will hold!" Oops! |

No way that price will hold!" Oops! $47 is cheap compared to now. Good to read that some 2000 Medoc wines are drinking well. The right bank wines have been tasty for a while already. Mark |

Because I have liked this wine in the past I bought half a case so 1 per year. |
