Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré 2023 – Saint-Julien

A lovely fresh, fruity nose, with a touch of graphite, good definition. It expresses notes of pulpy/fresh wild blackberry, fresh wild raspberry and more slightly – cornflower, violet, iodine as well as fine hints of small bright red berries, bouquet of flowers/rose petals. The palate is nicely juicy, fruity, gourmet, suave, with nice energy and tension, dynamics, a tangy frame, a nice iodized and textured side in the mouth, nice precise grain, fine and dynamic. It expresses notes of pulpy/juicy raspberry, violet and more slightly – crushed blackcurrant, associated with touches of roasted-juicy cherry, graphite, racy minerality and a floral and cocoa hint. Good length, some softness on the finish and a subtle hint of tangy/pulpy blue plum
