2006 Château Léoville Poyferré

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

92 Points

Friday, December 29, 2023 - Bordecembre.. its no. 35 this month!

Savoury and singing nose, followed by a blackfruit palate with such precision. As expected for vintage, strong tannic backbone.

Loved the graphite aromatics development.

I have grown to really like Léoville Poyferre and ranks in my Top 5 now. This year, I have tried and enjoyed.. 1989 and the 2003, as well as the 2009, 2013, and 2014 too. And now, 2006 too.

Winemaker - Didier Cuvelier. Blend - 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc. New barrels - 60%

Thanks to brother RL for sharing this and so many wines this past year, celebrating Joy's birthday and our Crazy Gang early NY party too!

    Glad you are a fellow fan too!
