    2017 Château Léoville-Poyferré In 6er Holzkiste
    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 93-95/100 Punkte "Yields in 2017 were 44.34 hectoliters per hectare. The 2017 Léoville Poyferré is very deep purple-black in color with super intense notes of freshly crushed blackcurrants, wild blueberries and Sichuan pepper with hints of lavender, baking spices and wood smoke. The palate is medium-bodied, firm and grainy with restrained, understated fruit and a long, mineral-laced finish."  Vinous (Neal Martin): 91-93/100 Punkte "The 2017 Léoville Poyferré was cropped at around 50hl/ha between 20 September and 6 October at 44hl/ha. It has a gorgeous bouquet that is very pure with scents of black cherry, cassis, cedar and a touch of graphite, all very focused and neatly entwined with the 85% new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, crisp and focused, very harmonious with a touch of cedar and black pepper towards the finish. I appreciate the combination of weight and finesse here, a really quite enthralling valedictory Léoville Poyferré who is due to retire this coming July. Bon vin“ Wine Spectator: 92-95/100 Punkte "Warm, displaying a slightly rounded feel for the vintage, this sports plum, cassis and blackberry compote flavors. A mouthwatering anise edge shows on the polished finish, with a well-buried graphite spine."  James Suckling: 94/100 Punkte "Very tight and energetic finish to this young, new red with currant and blackberry character. Hints of crushed stones. Dense and four-square with a chewy tannin structure and a long finish. Very muscular. Serious encore to the 2016. Same level?"  Weinwisser: 18/20 Punkte "68 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 27 % Merlot, 3 % Cabernet Franc, 2 % Petit Verdot. 50 hl/ha, 13,2 vol %, pH-Wert: 3,79. Dichtes Granat mit rubinrotem Rand. Komplexes rotbeeriges Bouquet mit Cranberry und Himbeeren. Im zweiten Ansatz Schattenmorellensaft und heller Tabak. Am mittleren Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und perfekt stützenden Tanninen. Alles ist hier am richtigen Platz. Im gebündelten Finale ein gigantisches Rückaroma mit Kirschhäuten und schwarzen Pfefferkörnern. Dieses Jahr perfekt dem Jahrgang angepasst – ein St.-Julien-«Leichtgewicht» mit unglaublicher Raffinesse. Im Factsheet wird folgender Vergleich angeführt: Charme von 2012, die Eleganz von 2015 und die Kraft von 2014. 2025 – 2045" Decanter: 95/100 Punkte "This has lower alcohol than usual, but doesn't sacrifice the mouthfeel. There's a succulent damson and cappuccino expression through the finish here, along with tautly constructed, bouncy tannins that are both expressive and powerful. It's one of the more rich and round wines in St-Juliens, as fits the house style. Extremely accomplished, it's powerful and will clearly age well. It's somewhere between 2014 and 2015 in quality, but not touching the majestic 2016. A success in the vintage, underlining again that St-Julien has had an extremely lucky 2017.

    From National Book Award nominee Laura McNeal comes a gripping, tautly told novel that is at once hopeful and harrowing. Perfect for fans of We Were Liars and Bone Gap. When Thisbe Locke is last seen standing on the edge of the Coronado Bridge, it looks like there is only one thing to call it. But her sister, Ted, is not convinced.

While everyone in town prepares to mourn the loss (some more than others), Ted and Fen, the new kid in town, set out to put the pieces together and find her sister. But if Thisbe didn't jump, what happened up on that bridge? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lincoln Hoppe. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/lili/002026/bk_lili_002026_sample.mp3.

    Old Silk Road: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 517min
    Old Silk Road is a prescient, powerful novel of the Afghan war by someone who's been there. Norman "Doc" Rodgers suspects he won't make it out of this one alive. He's a young combat medic in Afghanistan, eager to avenge his father's death in the World Trade Center and make sense of a new world that feels like it's fallen to pieces.

In this tautly plotted debut novel, Brandon Caro, a veteran who served in Afghanistan, tells the story of a soldier's undoing in raw, incendiary, hypnotic prose that forces us to ask ourselves what we know about the futility of war - and what other outcome we can expect. ungekürzt.
