I have tried all of them, and consider the Branaire and Lascombes the pick of the litter. Bon Pasteur is good as well. I thought Calon very tannic for its fruit. Poyferre is good as well, but I thought I remembered you not favoring their newer style (which would rule out Lascombes and Bon Pasteur as well).

It's strange how this wine tends to divide drinkers: some like me thinking it utterly spoofed others thinking it traditional. Very odd wine. It would be fun to do a tasting of Léo-Spooferré with the new and old pre-spoof vintages on show. I think I might just arrange such a tasting...
