Château Léoville-Poyferré 2002
Last night’s tipple, shared via video with a friend who opened the same wine. It’s gorgeous now, lovely light ruby colour. Classic claret nose, cassis, pencil, some beautiful floral notes. This continues onto the palate, cedar and graphite tannins wit fine acidity underpin a beautiful fruit taste, blackcurrant, blueberries, it’s got a really lush mouthfeel. Very very moreish, very very classy.
It’s the first Poyferré I can remember having for years, it’s always been such an underachiever and often a boring drink. This is the opposite, a really good example of St Julien, I’ll happily take a risk on recent vintages based on this.
