Château Léoville Poyferré 2010
Saint-Julien - 2nd Grand Cru Rated
98+/100 Parker
Cellaring: 2013 - 2043
By Robert M. Parker, Jr. in 2013: "The wine distances itself from both Leoville Las Cases and Leoville Barton, but all three are compelling efforts. Full-bodied, dense purple in colour, with floral notes intermixed with blackberries, cassis, graphite, and spring flowers, this legendary effort is long and opulent, with wonderfully abundant but sweet tannins, a skyscraper-like mid-palate, and a thrilling, nearly minute-long finish. This spectacular effort from Poyferre should drink well for 30+ years."
The Domain: Another spectacular wine from the Cuvelier family, the Léoville Poyferre (along with the Ducru Beaucaillou) is perhaps one of the two best wines of St. Julien year after year. This is a large estate, covering nearly 200 acres, and the final blend of the 2010 Léoville Poyferre is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, a whopping 34% Merlot and the remaining 7% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc.
