Community Tasting Note

  May 9, 2023 - The 2022 Leoville Poyferre offers an impressive nose, full of blue and black fruit, fundamentally cool and succulent, with subtle potpourri notes cultivated with time. This is whoppingly tannic, but it's not like that won't sort itself out with time - it's just that it will need a lot of it. There's the acid to match and it doesn't seem hot. There's a slight saline and pencil element on the finish which is really refreshing. This is a big, impressive wine, but the direction Leoville Poyferre pursued from 2015-2019, focusing on developing a sumptuous elegance (akin to the 1990), seems increasingly to be in the rear-view mirror.
