2016 Château Léoville Poyferré

Community Tasting Note

98 Points

Monday, November 12, 2018 - Northern Médoc sweet spots: pricey and not so pricey (The Médoc): This is clearly counts among the best wines of the vintage. Such lovely cassis and tobacco leaf: very pure, very Cabernet. The palate is smooth and dense, with pleasing lift. A bit more time, and some fine dark chocolate notes, too, but just a hint. The finish has lift, albeit with somewhat harder tannins that need to be resolved. But the breed of the wine is undeniable. Fulfills its promise from barrel. Bravo!
