Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. bn. marked label.
A soaring bouquet of creme de cassis, charcoal, graphite and spring flowers is followed by a super-concentrated wine with silky tannins, stunning amounts of glycerin, a voluptuous, multilayered mouthfeel and nearly 14% natural alcohol. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2040. WA 100
CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE POYFERRÉ 2010 (3)
Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 3 x bn. 3 x marked labels.
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+
