Tasting Notes

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 23 Sep 21
Soft and gentle leather, earth and spice, this is beautiful and balaced, with grilled cedar, soot, softened blackberry and bilberry notes, just a great reflection of St Julien finesse. A touch of bottle variation in the examples of this wine that I have tried over the past few years, but when they are good they are great. Lilting, juicy, a long slow burn, totally moreish. 80% new oak.

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Sep 21
The 2001 Léoville Poyferré, which I had not tasted for a decade, is very harmonious on the nose and features slightly darker fruit than the 2000, offering blackberry, cedar, fresh tobacco and smoke aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded, lithe tannins, fresher than the 2000 and more backward. It has a disarming velvety texture and turns spicy toward the finish. Hints of clove and bay leaf linger on the aftertaste. Excellent.

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 14 Mar 24
A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2001 Leoville Poyferre has a deep garnet-brick color. It starts with notions of sweaty leather and iodine, before opening out to underlying hints of kirsch, prunes, and dusty soil, plus a touch of dried Mediterranean herbs. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is chewy and savory, with just enough acidity and a rusticity on the finish.
Drinking Date: 2024 - 2029
