Lot 481 Details
CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE-POYFERRÉ 2009

Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 1 x bn. 2 x marked labels.

One of the more flamboyant and sumptuous wines of the vintage, this inky/purple-colored St.-Julien reveals thrilling levels of opulence, richness and aromatic pleasures. 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. Displaying fabulous definition for such a big, plump, massive, concentrated effort, I suspect the tannin levels are high even though they are largely concealed by lavish amounts of fruit, glycerin and extract. Drink to 2040. December 2011 WA 100

2 bts.    per lot $500 - $700

Realised: $1,032
