Château Léoville Poyferré 2021 – Saint-Julien 2ème Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fruity and shows nice definition, a classicism of fruit. There are notes of pulpy/juicy cherry, raspberry and, to a lesser extent, juicy blackcurrant combined with fine juicy/fresh purple plum with fine/subtle hints of nutmeg, bourbon vanilla, a subtle hint of blueberry and bergamot. The palate is fruity, delicate and reveals some power/root in delicacy/subtlety, elegance, a nice classicism in its elegant sense, a nice finesse of the guideline. On the palate this wine expresses juicy/pulpy violet plum, bright blackcurrant and more lightly violet notes combined with fine touches of fresh flowers (almost white flowers, blueberry), juicy/pulpy violet plum as well as fine cherry, vanilla, chocolate, toasted hazelnut. The tannins are mellow.
