Layers of blackcurrant, cassis, and graphite unfold with hints of licorice, mint, and spice. Silky yet powerful, with fine-grained tannins and a long, elegant finish that reflects both richness and restraint. Refined, expressive, and drinking beautifully now with years of life ahead.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 8, 1); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWE 95\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Jan 4, 2013\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarrel sample.

The 2012, a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, is opaque purple, thick-looking, and from bottle much more impressive than it was from barrel. This very extracted, rich, full-bodied, masculine Leoville Poyferre needs a good 5-8 years of bottle age and should evolve well for at least 20-25 years. Loads of blackberry and cassis, crushed rock and graphite notes are present in this medium to full-bodied, impressively concentrated and pure wine. Forget it for a while, as this is one of the bigger, richer Medocs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecanter | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eD 91\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Jun 14, 2018\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2021-2038\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTight, tannic – this is not yet resolving itself. Once again the quality of the fruit is clear in the sheer beauty of its delivery, enrobed by plump tannins, with a striking sense of vibrancy to the cassis notes. Gourmet and mouth-watering as it opens in the glass; this is a good quality 2012 in what was a tough vintage in Bordeaux. Eucalyptus and menthol notes particularly strong here, but well handled and with the gloss that you want and expect from Château Léoville Poyferré.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJancis Robinson | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 8, 1); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJR 17.5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Oct 2, 2022\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2021-2038\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasted blind. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVery deep crimson.
