Falstaff February - 2011
Falstaff
Dark carmine garnet, delicate ochre rim, watery edge. On the nose, intense ethereal nuances of mint and menthol, seductive bouquet, underlaid with blackcurrant and morello cherries, finest tobacco-like nuances. Juicy, fresh morello cherries, freshly structured, wonderful acidity structure, notes of eucalyptus in the aftertaste, lemony.

Full bodied and still well structured. An attractive wine, Saint-Julien pur sang: velvety blueberries and graphite. Power and persistency. This wine is in a very nice drinking window right now.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
A very deep garnet core – much more youthful and opaque compared to the previous vintage. The nose is far more introverted than the ’85 with tobacco, graphite and tar. It seems to be coiled up, demanding a few more years before it unfurls its aromas. After ten minutes in glass, it begins to reveal an attractive minty aroma, greater freshness and precision. The palate is full-bodied, much more tannic and a little drier than the ’85. On the surface, the previous vintage is more appealing but this has more depth and structure with a grainy-textured, savoury finish. It does not have the breeding of Las-Cases across the road, yet it is still a great Poyferre to enjoy over the next decade.  Drink now-2025.

Dark red color. Good intensity. Evolved. Nose of medium intensity. Fine. Fruity. Fresh. Ripe. Cedar. Civet. Very soft entry on the palate, developing with a fine texture, then the wine shows itself to be slender and at the same time ripe and juicy. Very Cabernet Sauvignon. Beautiful melting, sappy and liquorice-tinged length. It is fine and very, very good. Resembles 86 with the maturity of 89.

Delicately aromatic. Silky, fresh, fine and gentle. Reserved and elegant. Lovely, and beautifully balanced with a kick of spice at the very end.

Château Leoville Poyferre

Château Léoville Poyferré is a Bordeaux wine estate. Under the Saint Julien appellation, it is classified as a second growth in the official 1855 Médoc wine classification.

During the reign of Louis XIII, in 1638, Master Jean de Moytié, an ennobled Bordeaux bourgeois and counselor to the Parliament of Bordeaux, owned a vineyard planted on a gravel hill near the River. This gave the place the name "Mont-Moytié", following the custom of the time to designate a place by the name of its owner. The Mont-Moytié cru was part of these first historical growths of the Médoc, all born before the Fronde (1648-1653). The Médoc was then giving birth to its first parish growths.

This beautiful vineyard, originating from the former Léoville estate in northern Saint-Julien, is one of the best terroirs of the appellation and certainly the richest of the second growths. The 80 hectares planted with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc produce a deep and rich wine.

Château Léoville Poyferré produces elegant, very fine, balanced, and complex wines with intense color and velvety texture, which have excellent aging potential.
