The 2006 is stunning. I have five bottles left.
As I've said here several times before, the 2002 Haut Bailly that Hound brought to my house was tremendous.
I've got single bottles of the 2012 and 2014.

Didn’t we have the 2009 at Leoville Poyferre when we visited in 2015?
It was at the end of that long first day but I think we thought the young Poyferres weren’t wowing is at that point.
