2017 Château Léoville Poyferré
Community Tasting Note
Zweder Likes this wine:
94 Points
Wednesday, January 3, 2024 - EEE January 2024 St. Estephe vs St. Julien (@ My place): Extremely dark color. The bouquet is beautiful with dark berries, beautifully dosed oak and cedar, vanilla and still some lactic impressions. On the palate dark berries, licorice, vanilla, beautiful acidity and round tannin. A beautiful and complex wine with a beautiful balance between acidity and sweetness. I would not be surprised when this wine will be the wine of the vintage in 2030. 94 already. Probably useful to know; I poured the wine in a large decanter 12 hours before drinking.
