CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE POYFERRÉ
Poyferré had in the past been seen as traditional if somewhat reticent St. Julien expression. Since the landmark 1990 vintage, however, they have followed one stupendous effort with another. The tannic purple streak may best be explained by the increased percentage of Petit Verdot, a varietal that is gaining face with other quality conscious chateaux vinifying age worthy wines. Leoville-Poyferré is a powerfully impressive backwards wine that marries the distinctive qualities of traditional Bordeaux with the quality controls of modern winemaking.
