Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 28, 2020 - The 86 Léoville Poyferré takes half an hour to unfurl and show the full panoply of beef blood, marrow, roasted nuts, redcurrant, capsicum, cigar, and leather it has to offer. Still tannic but with pretty, succulent redcurrant on the lithe palate and a finish full of fresh thyme. A touch unripe, this reminds you it is from a very different era of Léoville Poyferré and indeed, of Bordeaux. It doesn’t hold a candle to the 82 or 90 but it’s fresh and pleasant, if rustic. Neck fill, great cork (half saturated)
