Château Léoville Poyferré Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1995
Chateau Leoville Poyferre is an estate in the Saint-Julien appellation of the Medoc. It was rated a second growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, and was traditionally the softest of the three Leovilles. However in the last few decades the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wine has gained weight and density.

Leoville Poyferre 1995 Saint Julien Grand Cru, the wine is still tight and needs time to open up in the glass. I would recommend an hour or two decant, I didn’t as I try to let it open up in a large Zalto Bordeaux glass. Once the wine starts to opens up, it’s really tempting with notes of black fruits, licorice, a touch of vegetables, sweet cedar, coffee, tobacco , earth and a touch of orange peals. The body is full, rich, round with dry tannins that opens up in glass and are well integrated, the acidity is great and the wine rich and luxurious. The finish is long rich and concentrated! My score 94, drink to 2026 perhaps longer !

Developing well with many great years to come. Nice little touch of brett.

Great concentration, black cherry, underbrush, clay, minerals, tannin fully integrated, licorice, sun dried tomatoes, still going strong, but no need to wait any longer.

Maybe a few years past Its prime. Tannines not too prominent, but neither is the fruit…

Enjoyed this stunning 1995 with a perfect steak meal. So glad I still have a few more on the shelf!

Fab aged @ £150 that’s drinking great but missing a little depth

Very rich. Slight barnyard nose but lingers long after you've tasted it.
