Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2017 - Case of 6 Bottles (75cl)Medium to deep garnet purple colored, the 2017 Loville Poyferr needs a little coaxing to reveal pretty scents of violets, Black Forest cake and blueberry preserves with hints of raspberry leaves, roses, cigar box and fragrant earth. Medium bodied, the palate has a quiet intensity with loads of subtle layers and a well poised frame of soft, fine grained tannins, finishing long and refreshing. Drink Date 2022 2045 Country Region: France, Saint Julien

Extremely full-bodied

which appears to be a leitmotif of Jean-Huber Delon's 2014s

Cabernet Sauvignon 47%

Roast duck - even Chinese-style crispy duck pancakes

finishing long and spicy

finishing very long and achingly stunning

rustic and built-to-age finale that delivers excellent depth and length

the oak nicely integrated

which suggests that it has turned volte face since its opulent showing in barrel

It is like a super-charged Beerenauslese
