Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2018 Vintage Overview

2018 OVERVIEW

Lifted dark cherry and plum sweep into rich blackberry, cocoa and baking spice in the 2018 Léoville Poyferré, a deeply concentrated Saint-Julien that remains remarkably polished and plush. Layers of ripe fruit are wrapped in fine yet firm tannins, with hints of cedar and tobacco leading to a long, precise, savory finish that shows the vintage’s power and generosity.
