2020 vintage. Last tasted 8.15.23 (9.4). Tasted today with the winemaker, Sara. Consistent noticías. A beautiful effort/hybridization in successfully bridging and incorporating both the old school Napa and the new school Napa. Class is in session. 13.7% ABV. 100% Cabbage. A whopping 175 cases made. HBD, Maria! 4.12.24. — 7 months ago
Had a glass of this wine last night. It’s sweet but not too sweet; tastes lovely chilled. It’s a very good moscato for the price. — 9 months ago
Sara should be here drinking this with me! — 5 days ago
Now that’s Barbera d’Alba Superiore in excelsior! Liquid black plums and some tar on the nose. Inhale deeply and you get some Asian spices on the fringes.
That palate…oh my. Liquid velvet. Dark as midnight. Plums, licorice, nice acidity,
deep, long, long, finish. Some minerals on the end.
Wowza!
Possibly better than her Barolo. Gulp.

The 2004 Léoville-Poyferré has a light and airy bouquet with blackberry, antique bureau, forest floor and light fungal aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannins, a little austere but balanced, though I notice some attenuation and bitterness towards the finish. So-so for this estate. Tasted at the Léoville-Poyferré vertical at the château with Sara Lecompte Cuvelier. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2022)

Been 2 years and wow is this a stunner. Nose is gorgeous with mashed roses, tobacco, cigar, spice and other florals. Some rich cherry fruit as well. Red all the way. Really perfumed and aromatic. Just stunning. Palate is rich and deep with awesome freshness and cut and such velvety and sweet tannins. Unreal finish and delicacy. Terrific clarity and purity of fruit. Tannins getting bigger with air but it’s so gorgeous and balanced. Amazing length to the finish. — a month ago
