Leoville Poyferre 2017
CRITIC REVIEWS
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
The 2017 Leoville Poyferre is medium to deep garnet-purple colored. It offers up notions of baked plums and cassis with cedar chest, pencil lead, bay leaves, and smoked meats in the background. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers generous fruit and firm, chewy tannins with soft acidity and a firm, grippy finish.
Jane Anson
This has lower alcohol than usual, but doesnt sacrifice the mouthfeel. Theres a succulent damson and cappuccino expression through the finish here, along with tautly constructed, bouncy tannins that are both expressive and powerful. Its one of the more rich and round wines in St-Juliens, as fits the house style. Extremely accomplished, its powerful and will clearly age well. Its somewhere between 2014 and 2015 in quality, but not touching the majestic 2016. A success in the vintage, underlining again that St-Julien has had an extremely lucky 2017.
