Lot 413 Details
CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE POYFERRÉ 2008

Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 3 x bn. 3 x marked labels.

One of the finest over-achieving efforts in this vintage as well as a “best buy” for a top-flight St.-Julien, this 2008 is an irresistible success. It reveals an opaque ruby/purple color, lots of unctuosity and a boatload of sweet cassis and black cherry fruit intertwined with notions of licorice, smoke and oak. Full-bodied, remarkably concentrated and stunningly pure and textured, this sensational wine is already drinking well, and will be even better with 2-3 years of cellaring. It should last for 20-25 years. Bravo! May 2011 Drink: 2013-2028 WA 94

3 bts.    per lot $300 - $500
