The 2019 Château Leoville Poyferre is a testament to the elegance and precision of Saint-Julien wines. With a nose that captivates with its floral character and complex layers of pulpy blackcurrant, lily, and a hint of redcurrant, this wine is further enhanced by subtle notes of raspberry, chocolate, vanilla, and pepper. The palate is greeted with a mineral freshness, balanced elegance, and a fine acidic structure that carries the delicate yet racy grain. The wine's power is presented with an airy quality, revealing flavors of fleshy blueberry, pulpy strawberry, and crunchy redcurrants, accented by blueberry, lily, tonka bean, and a fine toast from the French oak barrels. The tannins are precise, very fine, and supple, contributing to the wine's good length and positive bitterness.
