BRUNO GIACOSA Riserva Speciale 1961
Barbaresco
Certainly rich, flavorful, and concentrated with fruit, this wine represents a rather rare phenomenon for Poyferre during a period of mediocrity. Dark ruby, with an attractive cedary, spicy, mature bouquet, on the palate, the 1961 Leoville-Poyferre is deep, supple, ripe, and long, but fully mature.
A very good St.-Julien that has elegance and finesse in a nicely balanced package of soft texture and good fruit flavor.
