Tuesday, May 9, 2023 - A second encounter with this is similar to the first with a really big, coffee-filled nose, rich with black fruit. Very dense and tannic in the mouth with enough acid and body to make it work - but this will take ages to actually drink. Again, this seems a marked stylistic deviation from the 2015-2019 era when I felt that Leoville Poyferre was regaining its status as one of St. Julien's most beautiful, elegant wines (in the vein of the great 1990).
