Château Léoville-Poyferré 2014

The 2014 Léoville Poyferré has a magnificent nose that is a cut above its peers: moreconcentrated, more delineated and has stunning depth with complexity that only comes through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, but this Saint-Julien has real backbone and density, with impressive substance towards the finish. One of the best wines on the Left Bank. This is the finest bottle I have tasted, and it is far from representing the best Left Bank in this vintage. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting. Drinking window: 2026-2050 Score – 96.
