Château Léoville Poyferré 2021

Wineadvocate

The 2021 Léoville Poyferré opens in the glass with notes of minty berries, dark berry compote, pencil shavings and toasty oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and dense palate that's quite muscular and extracted, built around a chassis of sweet, abundant tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully firm finish. This will require a bit of patience. - WK 02/2024

Vinous

The 2021 Léoville-Poyferré has developed into a fabulous wine. Surprisingly rich, the 2021 possesses notable depth. Kirsch, blood orange and wildflowers open first, lending a decidedly exotic, perfumed quality. On the palate, the 2021 is fleshy and expressive. There's a bit of new oak that needs to integrate. Otherwise, the 2021 is impeccably balanced. Tasted two times. - AG 12/2023

Beck

Profondeur et complexité sont affichées d'emblée, dès les premières senteurs ! L'élevage et Stjulien aussi avec des nuances de graphite, de tabac blond et de sureau. Le vin surprend par son attaque aérienne, élancée. Elle laisse rapidement place à une puissance insoupçonnée, coordonnée par des tannins aux grains fins, suaves et compacts de surcroît, ainsi qu'une acidité vive et rafraîchissante. 2027-2046 - YB 02/2024

Suckling

This is very typical for St.-Julien with violets, berries, blackcurrants and crushed stone. Medium to full body with very fine tannins that run the length of the wine. Powdery tannins and a rich finish. Velvety texture. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 26% merlot, 9% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot. - JS 05/2022
