The 2000 Léoville-Poyferré was poured blind at Medlar restaurant, though it was pretty easy to single out. This bottle is slightly higher-toned than the previous, black fruit, melted tar and a touch of roasted chestnut, maybe displaying just a touch more Brettanomyces. The palate is medium-bodied with good depth and concentration, white pepper and thyme lending more complexity towards the finish. It does not possess the precision that has defined recent vintages, yet it has an almost bucolic charm and the substance to suggest it will give another two decades of drinking pleasure. Tasted at Medlar in London. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2022)

2000 vintage—bought it on a lark. I get the bretty note another rater detected, but mostly it’s sublime classic Left Bank Bordeaux, but lacking a bit of nose

Showing inflections of brett, which is indicative to the era in Bordeaux, in general. Otherwise, classic example.

Still quite primary. Inky cool fruit with restrained blue berries and graphite. Good balance.

My toss up for wine of the night! Drank like an absolute stud! A phenomenal example of a premium Bordeaux. Badass in a glass to say the least!

As good as this wine tastes today, I still won't open any of mine for another 10-15 years cuz it's only going to get so much better. Dry dark & blue fruits with dried flowers on the nose. The fruits on the palate; dry blackberries, black plum skin, black cherries, stewed strawberries hang in the background, steeped black tea, dry brown earth with crushed rocks, tannins are more pronounced than the others today, some figs & dates, stems, soft leather, drip coffee, high acid and finishes brighter and rounder than the others so far.

Liquorice, strong cedar wood, graphite, sweet spices, black fruits, hint of bell pepper, black chocolate, a little bit funk. Finish is sort of sweet somehow. Solid. 2000 vintage
