Black tea and blueberries. Full-bodied, very layered and multi-dimensional. Very long and flavorful. Such great texture. A dynamic and superb red. Drink in 2023. (Suckling)\u003cbr\u003e WS\u003cbr\u003e 95\u003cbr\u003e Rated 95 by Wine Spectator\u003cbr\u003e Dark plum cake, blueberry reduction and acai berry fruit tilts this to the exotic side of the ledger, with warm ganache, melted black licorice and tar notes providing the spine through the lush finish. Displays some serious latent grip, so there's no rush despite the showy fruit. Best from 2022 through 2040. 18,439 cases made.\u003cbr\u003e DC\u003cbr\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e Rated 94 by Decanter\u003cbr\u003e This is starting not to soften but to gently open up, even after only a couple of years. The raspberry and black cherry aromatics show a touch more caramel than in the 2016 vintage – it has a grilled charred oak character that gives impact whilst remaining extremely well integrated. Seductive, silky, hedonistic and still very much of a Médoc character, with a hint of menthol on the finish to lift things up. A lovely wine that will offer huge pleasure for the next 20 years plus. 3% Cabernet Franc makes up the rest of the blend.\u003cbr\u003e WA\u003cbr\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e Rated 94 by Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e The 2015 Léoville Poyferré is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc that was harvested between 24 September and 10 October. The IPT comes in at 80 with a pH 3.69. It has a typical Léoville-Poyferré bouquet at this stage: quite bullish and forthright, packed full of dense black cherries, red plum and cassis, the 85% new oak pronounced, but will be subsumed with bottle age. The palate is full-bodied with mouth-coating tannin: layers of graphite-infused black fruit, cedar and mint, almost Pauillac-like in personality with a sustained graphite finish. This is a sophisticated Saint Julien built for long-term ageing, perhaps less flamboyant than recent vintages, but the terroir shows through. Expect it to land at the top of my banded score, possibly higher.","brand":"Chateau Leoville Poyferre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43163441332448,"sku":"111918","price":174.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/thumbme_a32d4466-edbd-49a6-83ab-3579424ee16b.jpg?v=1663884262","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-leoville-poyferre-saint-julien-grand-cru-classe-2014-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
