Lot 202 Details
CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE POYFERRÉ 2018

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

2018 Léoville Poyferré comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant scents of Morello cherries, plum preserves and blackberry pie, giving way to nuances of cedar chest, unsmoked cigars, vanilla pod and sassafras, plus a waft of crushed rocks. The palate is full-bodied, rich and decadent, delivering hedonic black fruits and lots of spicy accents with a velvety texture and seamless freshness, finishing long and satisfyingly savory. This is a very impressive showing that is delicious out of the gate but has the backbone to give a good 30 years or more of pleasure. March 2021 Drink to 2054 WA 97
