Château Léoville-Poyferré--Vintage 2008
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
In original wooden cases
Tasting note: One of the finest over-achieving efforts in this vintage as well as a best buy for a top-flight St.-Julien, this 2008 is an irresistible success. It reveals an opaque ruby/purple colour, lots of unctuosity and a boatload of sweet cassis and black cherry fruit intertwined with notions of liquorice, smoke and oak. Full-bodied, remarkably concentrated and stunningly pure and textured, this sensational wine is already drinking well, and will be even better with 2-3 years of cellaring. It should last for 20-25 years. Bravo! Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #194 May 2011
