Order bottle of wine : Léoville Poyferré 1982
Saint-Julien - 2nd Grand Cru Rated
95/100 Parker
Drink Date : 2009 - 2034
Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr. the 30th Jun 2009 : "There is no question that Leoville Poyferre was not making wines at the level of quality they have since 1990. That said, the 1982 is a great wine, no doubt because of the vintage rather than the winemaking at that time. A brilliant effort, it boasts a dense purple color as well as a sweet, flowery bouquet revealing plenty of creme de cassis, plum, and cherry notes, stunning concentration, a boatload of power, sweet tannins (the sweetest and easiest to taste among the St.-Juliens), and a long finish. Although close to full maturity, it has at least 20-25 years of life remaining."
