2008 Chateau Leoville Poyferre
Description
One of the finest over-achieving efforts in this vintage as well as a “best buy” for a top-flight St.-Julien, this 2008 is an irresistible success. It reveals an opaque ruby/purple color, lots of unctuosity and a boatload of sweet cassis and black cherry fruit intertwined with notions of licorice, smoke and oak. Full-bodied, remarkably concentrated and stunningly pure and textured, this sensational wine is already drinking well, and will be even better with 2-3 years of cellaring. It should last for 20-25 years. Bravo!

The 2008 Chateau Leoville Poyferre is a testament to the grandeur of Saint-Julien wines. With an opaque ruby/purple hue, this wine exudes a rich bouquet of cassis and black cherry, elegantly intertwined with licorice, smoke, and a pronounced toasty oak character. On the palate, it offers a fresh and firm structure, with polished tannins and a symphony of flavors including coffee, smoke, and kirsch, culminating in an elegant and harmonious finish. This full-bodied wine is concentrated and pure, promising a sensational experience now, with even greater potential after a few years of cellaring.
