Description
Léoville Poyferré’s dense ruby/purple 2005 is soft, round and juicy, with lots of blackcurrant fruit, plum and Asian spice. It is medium to full-bodied and, along with Léoville Las Cases and Saint-Pierre, probably one of the best St.-Juliens I tasted in this retrospective. It is surprisingly supple and accessible. Drink it over the next 15 or so years.

The 2005 Chateau Leoville Poyferre is a stunning example of Saint-Julien's elegance and power. This wine boasts a dark garnet color with vermeil highlights. On the nose, it reveals concentrated notes of jammy black fruit, toast, cedar, and a touch of eucalyptus. The palate is full and plump, with silky tannins that still have some grip. The retro-olfaction confirms the aromas perceived on the nose, with jammy blackcurrant, delicate oak, and blonde tobacco. This vintage offers extraordinary aromatic persistence with a fresh finish. Perfectly balanced, it is a wine that will continue to evolve beautifully over the years.
