The Story

Léoville Poyferré has 80 hectares of vineyards planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot (25%), Petit Verdot (8%) and Cabernet Franc (2%).

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is ruby red and medium. On the nose it is open and complex. The taste is warming and and average in acidity. On the palate it is layered and has pepper, plum, tobacco, mint, cedar, cassis and blackcurrant flavours. The finish is long, gentle and spicy. This wine is excellent. I paid around 50-100€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 30min before tasting. Good value for money. I do recommend.

Very nice, attractive and charming wine with good stuffing, light-footed fruit and tannin and soft finish. Very enjoyable to drink right now.
