Dark aromas for a St. Julien. Aromas of dark berries, farmyard, smoke and rusty iron, like in a Pessac. Dense and powerful on the palate, with pronounced tannins.

Opaque ruby, animal, barnyard, sweet notes, undergrowth some menthol, mushrooms, spicey, basically everything we love about aged Bordeaux is in here. Silky tannins. This is ready to go, simply amazing. Will easily hold another decade.

Compared to the 95, the acidity of the 96 stands out. Because of the acidity but the wine has a more lively, fresh and energetic character. The 96 is probably perfect for a pairing with a proper dish.

Château Léoville Poyferré - Saint-Julien 1996
Lots of dark fruit, cassis and blackcurrant. (lots of) Leather and Forrest floor. Still more than enough acidity and nice chewy tannins. Love the long aftertaste, it lingers for more than 30 seconds. At its peak with some more years to go.

CdB BoG; 1/25/2024-1/27/2024 (Denver): Loving the 1996 vintage right now. No formal notes but drinking great, full of fruit, smooth but present tannins. Yum.
