Château Léoville Poyferré - 2e G.C.C. | St. Julien
Red wine | France, SAINT-JULIEN | 2016
Léoville Poyferré 2016 is a hugely powerful, engaging and lively St Julien. With its enormous concentration and pronounced tannin, it is perhaps the appellation's most tannic wine. As such, it needs many years of bottle aging to show its full potential. An overwhelming rush of aromas reaches the palette: dark fruit, leather, smoke, tobacco and chocolate.
