Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré 2016 – Saint-Julien

The nose is fresh, fruity and concentrated. It reveals notes of juicy/fresh blackberry and slight notes of cassis, strawberry associated with discreet hints of licorice, toasted oak as well as a very discreet hint of dark chocolate and slight notes of black pepper. The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced and offers a beautiful freshness/minerality, a slight unctuosity, a beautiful acid frame as well as a nice ripe and fresh fruit. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of blackberry, cassis and small notes of fresh/ripe strawberry associated with a hint of fleshy/fresh raspberry as well as discreet toasted hints and chocolate. There is a discreet hint of hazelnut on the aftertaste. Good length.
