A very nice showing of Poyferré. The tricky final part of the ripening season made this a real Merlot-vintage. It is therefore no surprise that 98 suits LP perfectly. Expressive, soft, lush fruits; a real ‘smoothie’. Proper structure, good balance. Drinking very well.

Finally finished a bottle I had started Coravinning in 2016! This was the 4th pour on a half bottle! It was still mostly intact, amazingly. Cedar, dark fruit, forest floor. Not lively by any means, but this wasn't the best vintage of Poyferre to start, and even without Coravin it is a 25 year old wine in half bottle. I'm impressed, but definitely drink these if you have them.
Poyferre delivers every single time and as a person who has loved drinking wine for well over a quarter of a century! Translucent rubyish colour. Strong nose of black currant fruits along with a hint of saddle leather. The palate is rich, mouthful of red fruits and a lengthy finish and it is a full package in sheer balance! A fine example of the Château Léoville Poyferré.

(Leoville-Poyferre) A glorious wine if a bit young. Tobacco, rich cassis fruits, some spicey oak and minerality on the nose. The palate is quite massive with extremeley concentrated fruit and thrilling ripeness but wonderful smokey, tobacco, mineral character. Sweet and ripe tannins carry the finish. Excellent acids too.

Cork disintegrated on removal.
Fruit is disappearing, lightly acidic.
Past its prime

Medium red color. Moderate fruit concentration. It’s beginning to fade a bit. Modest finish. Drink up
