Noch kräftiges Rubinrot. Offene, tiefgründige Nase, sehr komplex, dunkelfruchtig, nicht warm sondern erstaunlich kühl anmutend, Brombeere, Pflaumen, Schwarzkirschen, viel Cassis, das Holz gut eingebunden, würzige Noten schwingen mit. Im Gaumen dicht, opulent, der Wein hat Körper, zeigt viel Konzentration, bleibt jedoch elegant. Langer, dunkelfruchtiger Abgang. Noch immer auf der "jugendlichen Seite" - kann angetrunken werden, hat grosse Reserven. Jetzt bis 2035+

Pretty and elegant, this is drinking well now. The softness suggests the high proportion of Merlot. The nose showed raspberries and plums, currants and leather. A touch of forest floor, and honey that echoed the nose. Beautiful and drinking well.

In a very very good spot right now. Drinking beautifully balancing fruit, maturity and still freshness. Would call it at peak for me but willmprob stay here for 3-5 years so no rush.
Superb. Probably drinking at close to peak. Shows that LP is great even in less stellar left bank vintages. This is a big wine still with lovely fruit, smoke, forest flowers and a lovely dense but silky mouthfeel and still quite youthful with only a little sediment. Long awesome finish. Can likely be held but wonderful today. Easy 95 (subjectively).

(CHAT LEOVILLE POYFERRE) #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-classic bell pepper, V8 juice, black cassis, black currant, musty (like an attic); TASTE-incredibly silky on the attack through the finish, this is a polished Old World wine w/ beautiful extracted New World fruit (hot 2003 vintage), perfect balance & harmony, extremely good, black currant & cassis, red cherries, beautiful raspberries, secondary layers of smoked tobacco, really ripe candied flavors on the finish, smooth as a wine gets, this is Ultimate Bordeaux; RP-98; GV-97+
(Château Léoville Poyferré) Very reticent, faint berry nose; complex on palate, concentrated, berry, cassis, vanilla palate; long finish
