Description
The dark ruby-colored, medium-bodied 1998 offers aromas of underbrush, black currants, cherries, minerals, and vanillin. While sweet, rich, and stylish, it lacks the depth necessary to merit an outstanding score. Drink it over the next 12-14 years. Robert Parker

Tasting note
1998年的樂維爾波菲爾城堡酒是來自聖朱利安產區的佳釀，以其經典的風味和優雅的風格著稱。酒精度12%，呈現出深邃、近乎不透明的深紅寶石色澤。起初酒香含蓄，逐漸展開後散發出細膩的紅醋栗香氣。口感上，果味收斂，柔和的酸度與豐富的雪松和顆粒狀單寧相得益彰。酒精含量平衡，尾韻悠長，紅色水果的魅力在餘味中綻放，預示著中段口感隨著時間的推移將進一步展開。建議醒酒一小時，以充分體驗其複雜性。這款酒與烤羊肉、紅酒燉牛肉、蘑菇燴飯和陳年乳酪等佳餚搭配得天衣無縫。
The 1998 Chateau Leoville Poyferre, a gem from the esteemed Saint-Julien appellation, exudes elegance and a classic savory profile. With an alcohol content of 12%, it presents a deep, dark ruby-red hue that is nearly opaque. The nose is initially reserved, unfolding to reveal subtle redcurrant aromas. On the palate, the wine is characterized by its restrained fruit and soft acidity, which harmonizes with abundant cedary and grainy tannins. The balanced alcohol level supports a lasting finish, where the wine's attractive red-fruit character shines, hinting at further potential as the mid-palate continues to evolve. Decanting for an hour is recommended to fully appreciate its complexity. This wine pairs beautifully with dishes such as roast lamb, beef bourguignon, mushroom risotto, and aged cheeses.
