CHATEAU LEOVILLE-POYFERRE
Recently removed from excellent cellarage
Château Léoville-Poyferré--Vintage 2003
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé. Château-bottled
In original wooden case
Tasting note: I have had this wine three times out of bottle, rating it 97 once and 98 twice. It is a colossal success and a potential legend in the making. Its saturated, dense inky/blue/purple color offers up notes of crushed rocks, acacia flowers, blueberries, black raspberries, and creme de cassis. A synthesis of power and elegance, this multi-layered wine has spectacular concentration, sweet but high tannin, and low acidity A stunning effort that showcases this legendary terroir, it is a brilliant, brilliant success. The quintessential Leoville Poyferre? Anticipated maturity: 2009-2030. 98 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #164, April 2006
