Description

2014 Château Léoville Poyferré, St Julien, Bordeaux60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc. There is fleshy, tasty fruit here, and a lovely intensity on the nose. The bouquet is beautifully expressive and laced with sweet, dark fruits. Cassis and dark fruit continue to dominate on the palate, the crunchy tannins a welcome arrival. The wine is very dark, and you can sense an underlying power, even though it doesn't express itself that way, yet. A wine to be cellared for

renaissance

Brilliant purple black in colour

and like many 1996s

cedar and cassis notes

but the mouthfeel is all about frankness

A very tasty St Julien and unquestionably a wine for the cellar

Deep garnet colored

and checking how to get to Mull instead

On top of this

It’s massive but with a rapier-like precision of cool and eucalyptus-fresh Cabernet that takes your breath away

The fruit is round
