Château Léoville-Poyferré--Vintage 1995
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Offered in an original wooden case
Tasting note: While not as backward as the 1996, the opaque purple-colored 1995 is a tannic, unevolved, dense, concentrated wine that will require 8-10 years of cellaring. The 1995 exhibits pain grille, blackcurrant, mineral, and subtle tobacco in its complex yet youthful aromatics. Powerful, dense, concentrated cassis and blueberry flavors might be marginally softer than in the 1996, but there is still plenty of grip and structure to this big wine. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2030. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 115 (Feb 1998)
