New Bowes Wine Broking Wines
Victoria and I were at lunch at Vintners Hall yesterday and with the beef main course were served 2002 Château Léoville Poyferré. It was utterly delicious and all the more fascinating since I knew that a case of it was among a tranche of worthies to be made live today on GrapePip.
My (brief) tasting note appears with the wine below, along with details of the other wines. All have been perfectly stored in professional UK facilities since first being shipped to the UK and sold by Bowes Wine to one of our longstanding, Japan-based clients
And do keep returning to browse the site, since there are yet more listings in the pipeline:
2002 Château Léoville Poyferré, St Julien
"A riveting, mature nose that includes a hint of mint to the dark fruit and notes of liquorice and warm spices. This is fully complex and a fascination to smell. The palate is medium weight at the most, but cool, extremely elegant and refined, with a lift of fresh tannin at the rear. A long thing and very satisfying."
2006 Château Giscours, Margaux
"A sterling wine, delicious to drink already." Gilbert & Gaillard in 2009
