2004 Château Léoville Poyferré, St Julien, Bordeaux

Description

For a long time this estate was a poor relation of the Léoville clan, however, improvements in quality have been noticeable since the early 1990s. This year looks set to become a real success for Poyferré. The blend is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, with the dominant variety's creamy cassis character very evident on the nose. This is a focused and well-defined wine with gorgeous pure fruit flavours, fresh acidity and firm tannins in perfect harmony. A very classically-styled St Julien.

Critics reviews

Robert Parker 93/100
Along with Leoville Las Cases and a few others, this is among the stars of the appellation. Made in a more floral, supple, Margaux-like style, the deep ruby/purple-hued 2004 Leoville Poyferre exhibits sweet, broad flavors, and plenty of tannin lurking beneath the surface. However, the abundant cherry, black currant, licorice, and smoke notes obscure the tannic clout. This rich, powerful, broad beauty should be drinkable in 2-3 years, and last for two decades.Robert M.
