Château Léoville-Poyferré Saint Julien 2. Cru 2010

* 98 point Robert Parker. Læs anmeldelse nederst * Château Léoville-Poyferré Saint Julien 2. Cru 2010 har en rig og overdådig bouquet med modne sorte kirsebær, vilde jordbær, og et svagt strejf af lakrids. Ganen er fyldig med moden, afrundet tannin, et strejf af lakrids og glycerin, samt krydrede noter i en blomstrende finish. Dette er en fremragende Saint Julien, velafbalanceret og smidig med en lang og vedvarende smag. En vin for dem der foretrækker Bordeaux i en mere overdådig stil hvor kompleksiteten er opretholdt.  

The wine out distances both Leoville Las Cases and Leoville Barton, but all three of them are compelling efforts. Full-bodied, dense purple in color, with floral notes intermixed with blackberries, cassis, graphite and spring flowers, this full-bodied, legendary effort is long and opulent, with wonderfully abundant yet sweet tannin, a skyscraper-like mid-palate and a thrilling, nearly one-minute finish. This spectacular effort from Poyferre that should drink well for 30+ years. Another spectacular wine from the Cuvelier family, Leoville Poyferre (along with Ducru Beaucaillou) may be one of the two best wines of St.-Julien year after year these days. This is a large estate, covering nearly 200 acres, and the final blend of the 2010 Leoville Poyferre is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, a whopping 34% Merlot and the rest 7% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc.
