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!

Tasting note
2008年的波菲堡莊園酒展現了聖朱利安的莊嚴風格。酒體呈不透明的紅寶石紫色，散發出豐富的黑加侖子和黑櫻桃香氣，與甘草、煙熏和明顯的烤橡木氣息巧妙交織。口感上，它提供了新鮮而堅實的結構，拋光般的單寧，以及包括咖啡、煙熏和櫻桃酒在內的一系列風味，最終在優雅和諧的餘韻中達到高潮。這款酒體飽滿，集中而純淨，承諾現在就能提供一次感官盛宴，經過幾年窖藏後潛力更加無限。
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.
