Decant Advice for 2000 Château Léoville Poyferré

Will be drinking this tomorrow night.

Anyone had one recently?

Pop and pour? Air?

Thanks in advance for your input.

I’d say pop and pour into a decanter . . . let it breathe through dinner (assuming your dinner is about 3 hours). You could also decant it for about an hour or so before dinner. I had the 2003 last weekend and simply popped poured, letting it breathe throughout the night.

Enjoy!

Do please post a note, Kim. I have a couple of bottles and an wondering . . . .

Kim,

This is a wine you should decant and let breathe way in advance (2+ hours). It’s a beast and the extra air time will help. I’ve had it several times over the past year and it’s a beauty.

Thank you, Angelo. I’ll give it 2 and we’ll drink it over a couple of hours.

Neal, Will do.

Just pop and pour!



In 2025:-)
