Tom Cannavan January - 2004
Tom Cannavan
 This still has a vivid ruby colour, with a little browning. Very attractive on the nose, it has plenty of full, earthy spice and a rich, ripe raspberry and redcurrant fruitiness. It seems very harmonious, if a touch one-dimensional. On the palate it has a good attack of keen, crisp raspberry fruit that is quite lean and sinewy, with plenty of acidity and incisive tannins. Perhaps this lacks a little flesh, especially on the mid-palate, but there is plenty more spice, tobacco and stuffing on the finish.

Medium bodied, firm, stoic, not quite austere, but close. Better on the nose, with its red fruits, cedar, herbs and forest floor, scents than on the palate. Mature and ready to drink

Dark red color. Intense. Slight evolution. Bright. Nose of medium intensity. Fresh. Fine. Beautiful work with the barrel. When swirled, mentholated note. Quite fine. Linear from the attack with elegant aromas, this wine evolves caressing but stops after the mid-palate due to overly present oak.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Leoville-Poyferre is making greater and greater efforts to push the quality level closer to that of its neighbor, Leoville-Las-Cases. The hiring of the famed oenologist, Michel Rolland, the beginning of malolactic fermentation in barrel (started in 1994), a stricter selection process, and the construction of a superb new cuverie are all signs that Leoville-Poyferre is set to emerge as one of the stars of the northern Medoc. The dark rubypurple-colored 1994 offers up scents of toasty vanilla and sweet blackcurrant fruit. This medium-bodied claret possesses good fat, moderate tannin, and a traditional, backward, overall feel. Although still youthful, there is enough fruit to balance out the wine's tannin.

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.
