CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE POYFERRÉ 2003 (3)
Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 3 x bn. 2 x scuffed labels.
The spectacular 2003 Leoville Poyferre exhibits a dense purple color with a touch of lightening at the edge as well as notes of creosote, barbecue smoke, jammy black currants, licorice and spice box. This intense, voluptuously textured, full-bodied St.-Julien possesses low acidity and ripe tannin. Still fresh and exuberant, it is just entering its plateau of full maturity where it should remain for 10-15+ years. August 2014 Drink: 2014-2029 WA 96
CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE POYFERRÉ 2010 (3)
Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 1 x scuffed label.
The wine out distances both Leoville Las Cases and Leoville Barton, but all three of them are compelling efforts. Full-bodied, dense purple in color, with floral notes intermixed with blackberries, cassis, graphite and spring flowers, this full-bodied, legendary effort is long and opulent, with wonderfully abundant yet sweet tannin, a skyscraper-like mid-palate and a thrilling, nearly one-minute finish. This spectacular effort from Poyferre that should drink well for 30+ years. February 2013 WA 98+
