Château Léoville Poyferré 2014

Saint-Julien, 2nd Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fruity, gourmand, elegant and relatively rich (precisely wellbalanced). It reveals notes of crushed blackberry and crushed strawberry combined with slight hints of gray pepper, wood, a discreet hint of violet / flowers as well as slight hints of sour cherry and licorice. The mouth is fruity, mineral, silky, racy, precise, relatively aerial, beautifully balanced, a bit fleshy and offers a nice mineral frame, a fine acidity, a nice definition, a nice grain as well as a good definition. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of crushed wild strawberry and fine notes of blackberry, cassis combined with discreet hints of raspberry, a hint of licorice, grilled oak and slight hints of Cuben peppers and a slight hint of Lapson Souchong tea. Tannins are very fine and currently too young. Good length. There are notes of chocolate

on the finish / persistence. Nice potential! (Wait 5 years)

Score : 17.75+
