Chateau Leoville-Poyferre St-Julien 2014 750ml

RP-92

S$179.00

The 2014 Leoville-Poyferre was surprisingly backward and tight on the nose (usually it is the most expressive and generous L?oville in its youth). The precision and focus is intact, but it is broody and sultry at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with firm structure, which suggests that it has turned volte face since its opulent showing in barrel.

The 2014 Leoville-Poyferre was surprisingly backward and tight on the nose (usually it is the most expressive and generous L?oville in its youth). The precision and focus is intact, but it is broody and sultry at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with firm structure, which suggests that it has turned volte face since its opulent showing in barrel. Overall, this comes across as perhaps a slightly more austere and masculine wine from Didier Cuvelier, though that is not a criticism, just an observation. I would like to see a little more persistence on the finish, but the tidings bode well for this mercurial and fascinating L?oville-Poyferre. I can see it improving with bottle age, hence the plus sign against my score.
