Château Léoville Poyferré 2017 – Saint-Julien, 2ème Grand Cru Classé

The nose is powerful, powdery and offers intensity as well as a fine and finely tight grain. It reveals notes of wild blackberries, small black fruits and slightly redcurrants associated with small blue fruits, lilies as well as hints of zan, tobacco and a discreet hint of star anise. The palate is balanced, powdery and offers gourmandize, a little intensity, a certain juiciness, straightness, energy / dynamism as well as an elegant, fine and finely tight tannic frame. This wine expresses notes of pulpy / juicy cassis, pulpy / juicy boysenberry and more slightly of pulpy redcurrants associated with touches of lilac, lily, racy minerality and tonka bean. Pretty powdery, elegant and delicate tannins. Beautiful sapidity and gourmandize on the finish / persistence.
